A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Something funny is going on at Lemm.ee. The admin is suddently ban hammer happy too.

That and all the mods removed from here is kinds strange.

Anyone have any word on what's up and why the drastic changes in attitude and all of the sudden bans?

**EDIT: **Actually I think I found the reason: https://lemm.ee/post/55846636/18367529 (!meta@ lemm.ee "It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required")

Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it's not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

Which a bunch of Lemmy Democrats are gonna cheer and advertise about.

Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.

Don't let them silence you, guys. We should just move--not run away. Running away is what they want us to do.

EDIT: I'm not defending Nazi's or Nazi salutes. I didn't see the post and I haven't seen any describe it other than "it was a Nazi salute!" Does anyone want to actually describe the post? What did it say? Was it a meme? Was it Musk? Was it a random pic?

So it must not exist?

I never said that. I said that I didn't see it, so I can't comment on it.

Its literally discussed in the post you linked in your edit. tf?

Sure it was discussed, but it didn't say what the image was. Was it a meme? I have no clue. What was the context? WAs it jsut a pic of Elon giving a nazi salute without saying anything?

Maybe you can describe it to me.

Do you support literal nazi salutes on the front page of this community?

I do not. Never said I have. I simply said I didn't see the image in question.

Are you willing to speak out against nazis?

Yep. But that doesn't mean that this conversation should lead to variations of "every conservative is a Nazi" nonsense. Becuase that's not fact. That may be your opinion, but that's not fact.

Hey, it's not my fucking instance. If lemm.ee decides to ban conservative communities, then hey, they can go for it. There are other conservative communites on lemmy.

I don't agree that they should ban them, but I do believe it's their right to do whatever they want with their instance. Just like I can do what I want with my instances.

No one is banning conservative communities. they are removing nazi posts. Not sure why you’re misunderstanding that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No one is banning conservative communities. they are removing nazi posts

And I am fine with that. But I am seeing a larger conversation, in the links provided where people are saying that there should be no conservative communities. As in literally saying, "There shouldn't be conservative communities allowed anywhere on Lemmy."

That's what I'm referring to.

where are you seeing that discussion

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

https://lemmy.world/post/25674081

Which also talks about the reason all the mods were removed from this community today. Here is just one of the comments saying that, but there are others:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok so one random user stated that? Out of thousands?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you read the whole thread? You only seen one person saying that? Come on, now...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A handful? Do you think lemmy is made up of like, 10 users?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you think the majority of Lemmy users would like conservative communties on Lemmy?

How about this: You create a new user name. Then you and I will create a new Conservative community on Lemmy and be co-mods. After a month, tell me what you think about the general attitude Lemmy has about people who start conservative communities.

You'll be called a Nazi even if you don't post or comment on a single post. lmao

DM me, and let's do it. It'll be fun!

And we need some more conservative points of view on lemmy anyway, right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lets do it. Will you be removing every dissenting opinion, and only allowing breitbart posts? Will it be deep throating every single evil move trump makes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope. I'll allow breitbart posts though. and you gotta promise not to remove posts unless they are literally saying nazi stuff. You can't just go, "wait, this isn't an anti-elon news article, so it's A NAZI POST!" and crazy shit like that.

I say we start a community, conservative-leaning (because there are already a shitton of liberal-leaning ones) and see what happens. I am fine having a non-conservative mod, so that we can hopefully overcome the whole "all the mods are nazi's accusations)

Should we start on a new instance or maybe see if we can take over the [email protected] instance since it has no mods right now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ok, let's do it. I'll message the mods and ask if we can have this one. And let you know it goes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also, your profile is this. Are you sure you are gonna be able to remain neutral in a conservative community? Because if all this is in bad faith, then let's not waste our time. I was being honest in my conversation with you.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure, fair comment. I can make a new account and make a genuine effort of being neutral.

Dont get me wrong - democratic party have made some seriously bad decisions. But at least they stayed within the law.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think the new account would be better, because for many people, if they look at your current account, they may see a bias and disregard what you have to say--even if you are right.

But again, only for the community. I have no problem with your main profile being as is. I don't agree with it, but I do support your right to say it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

K, and you may not wanna make it until we find out if we can even get the community. I haven't heard back from the mods about that, and an admin is kinda saying that the idea to unmod the community has been floated around amongst them for a while.
