A community for some conservative points of view. You can comment but not post articles, because there are bad-faith posters who want to post horrible content just to get people in trouble.
Rule 0: Serial downvoters who downvote out of hate and don't interact with the community will be banned.
For a more permissive community, go to [email protected]
ππ» Rule 1: Kindly be empathetic and kind to others. Trolling and spamming will not be tolerated. Making the community a friendly & supportive place is our goal.
All of us are here for a short lifetime. Letβs have a nice time here and avoid negativity. :)
Please be respectful, even if you don't agree.
Don't personally attack people. Don't call them names.
Be grown-ups.

Correct! I want to keep the community on-topic and protected from manipulation.
Iβve seen other communities get targeted by bad-faith actors who flood them with off-topic or offensive posts using alternate accounts. Then those same people turn around and point to the content they themselves planted as justification to report or try to get the community shut down. Itβs a sabotage tactic, and it works if moderation is too loose.
Now you all can't do that here.
That said, youβre absolutely free to create your own community and set the rules however you like. Lemmy thrives when people contribute more spaces and perspectives, so Iβd support your effort if you go that route.
You know... I just might
You should. I'm not being a jerk. I honestly think that rather than complain or be serial downvoters, that people should start up their own communities (or post their own articles if they find an open community the support).
Be the change you wanna see, rather than just hate on communities that you don't agree with.
The great thing about Lemmy is that it's easy to do your own thing. Diversity of opinions isn't a bug, it's a feature. You don't like conservative views. Ok, great. Then start a community that caters to the kinda stuff you do wanna see.
We all should be able to voice our opinions. Even if unpopular or niche. Since Lemmy is mostly anti-conservative anyway, your community will probably be popular, and you'll be doing your part to spread information that you think is needed.
That's a good thing, even if I personally probably won't agree with your content. I will agree with your right to post it though.

Awesome. I subscribed! You're in for an adventure. I'm not your enemy, as you'll find out.
Also, thank goodness I am not the only conservative community on here! So many people post that lemmy.today should be de-fed'd all because they don't like me.
So just some advice, tho you aren't asking. There may be people who try to post "nazi" posts, just to give your comm a bad name and make it look like you are a nazi. You have to check your community every single day, so if that happens, you can delete it ASAP.
The person that was doing it to me finally got banned from his instance, so hopefully there are no others or he doesn't have alts.
Also, you have a thick skin. There may be people that are saying you are an alt of me. Good luck and thank you for starting your own community! This is what makes Lemmy better!
You're right, I didn't ask.
I've posted to your community in good faith. Let me know if you would prefer me not to post there, and I can delete.
Behave.
I have no reason not to behave.
