Taking a look at what gets upvoted and what is downvoted to oblivion, it’s quite clear what the community at large wants.

We don’t want [email protected] to be just another “serious conservative comm” any longer, they have whole instances dedicated to their kind of “free speech” and other comms as well.

So to that end I have thrown my hat in the ring to be mod and steer this comm to be what people want it to be so show your support at https://lemmy.world/post/25837943

I have also typed out a proposed draft set of rules to keep things from “going off the rails”:

  1. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
  1. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion—this isn’t one of them.
  1. Highlight Contradictions: The best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
  1. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news should be sent to the nearest relevant comm
  1. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them.
  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way.
  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
  1. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm.
  1. Remember The Purpose: This community exists as a pressure valve—a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics.

    Looks like I’ll have to block this too. I want serious discussions on conservative issues, not mocking and exaggerate to absurdity then pretend that is what conservatives believe.

        Every time I do it gets heavily down voted. It is quite clear conservative positions are not welcome on Lemmy. Just look at your post vs mine for example.

        There is no reason for my comments here to be controversial at all here, and yet it is unwelcome. Meanwhile your comment which makes a false claim (if you can’t find serious conservative content that is you are not looking - unless you are strictly referring to lemmy where such content is unwelcome and so of course you won’t see it) gets lots of upvotes.

      believe what you want, but your parties side with racists and arseholes every time, so sucks to be you.

        Who said anything about any party? There is no conservative party anymore. There are some claiming that, but they all hold positions that are not conservative.

        If you are thinking the republicans - I left them long ago.
