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.

      Yep. And he gets really really mad at me for not engaging in “serious political discourse”

      https://lemmy.world/comment/15318195

      You engaged and surprise! Nothing of real substance came of it. I kept a level head and you did not, oh but what do you care? You’re an “anarchist” remember? Or was it that you liked Trump being king? Very odd for anarchists to want kings I think.

            Yeah except in your situation he’s the one fishing and you’re the one that took the bait.

            Taking obvious bait is just always stupid.

      The ones screaming for censorship and banning all dissenting opinions on Lemmy are the same ones crying about how Trump is thing to do the same things to them.

      Either both are bad (my take) or neither are bad (that’s some authoritarian shit).

      Either way the one thing Lemmy doesn’t need is yet another place to make fun of conservatives.

        Yep, agreed. It sucks when it happens, regardless of the side doing it. But for some reason, Lemmy doesn’t see the hypocrisy of it when they say “It’s ok for us, but not for them.”
