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?

conservative communities are highly sensitive to anything that goes against the echo chamber

Maybe they shouldn’t have left literal nazi salutes on their front page

You're describing Lemmy. In this very thread there are people saying that conservative communites shouldn't be allowed on Lemmy. LMAO

And I didn't see the nazi salute that started the shitshow. So I have no clue what happened with that other than the fact that it's been removed.

I guess the bigger question you should be asking yourself is why Nazis keep showing up in the conservative movement. Why conservative leaders court them for votes. Why conservative leaders are performing Nazi salutes at presidential inaugurations.

Weird how the left doesn't have a Nazi problem.

Can you expand on that for us?

why Nazis keep showing up in the conservative movement.

I don't think they do. Most conservative people I know in real life don't like nazi's.

And I don't think Elon is a conservative leader. And I don't think he's a nazi. I DO think he did a nazi salute to troll everyone. And I do think that trump should have distances himself from him. But I'm not going to fucking cancel Trump just because him and Trump are friends.

Elon is a capitalist, not a Nazi. And he's a dork who will soon implode the relationship he has with Trump.

But I do love him DOGE'ing every fucking thing and slashing and burning all the govt programs. That's hilarious to watch.

He's an asshole, not a Nazi. And he likes trolling you all to see how pissed off you all get. And it works every single time.

Nazis are capitalists. The word privatization was literally invented to describe what the Nazis did. Elon also constantly says and tweets and does and agrees with nazi shit. If he isn't a Nazi then i am the god of Justice and karma.

I don’t think they do.

It doesn't matter what you think. Your opinion is not relevant on this subject. That white supremacists vote Republican is not up for debate. It is simple fact. There's a reason why we've seen an increase in public displays of white supremacy during both Trump's terms.

Most conservative people I know in real life don’t like nazi’s.

Then they should stop voting to support them or people will assume they are also Nazis/fascists.

And I don’t think Elon is a conservative leader.

Then you'd be wrong. He funded Donald Trump's campaign, is followed by MANY conservatives on social media, and now has a prominent role in a conservative White House administration. So, again, you are definitively wrong.

But I’m not going to fucking cancel Trump

There is no reality in which you will cancel Donald Trump. You are in a cult. You are cucked.

Elon is a capitalist, not a Nazi.

Capitalists don't perform Nazi salutes on national television. Nazis do.

But I do love him DOGE’ing every fucking thing and slashing and burning all the govt programs. That’s hilarious to watch.

The fact that you are celebrating tens of thousands of federal workers losing their livelihood, many of whom are veterans, tells me what kind of sick individual you are. You are not a good person.

He’s an asshole, not a Nazi.

He's both.

And he likes trolling you all to see how pissed off you all get.

Sounds like a child. Which means you and him have something in common.

I didnt see it

So it must not exist?

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

edit. Lets simplify this.

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

Are you willing to speak out against nazis?

These are yes or no questions. They should be very simple.

For someone that's only been here for 8 days you sure do think you know everything about Lemmy

Hi.

The admin is suddenly ban hammer happy too.

The only person who was banned is the one who posted the Nazi salute picture.

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

Lemm.ee has a single new admin (JuiceMachine). The rest of us have been here for over a year and the decision to de-mod this community is not a new idea. We are not removing the community at this time, we just feel it has not been effectively moderated to fit in with Lemm.ee's rules. We want to observe how things go and take further action if needed.

I for one love the conservative communities on lemmy and don't block them.

That way, I can block the users that post the content and not have to see them anywhere else.

"differing opinions"

I mean I know you guys love playing victim, but holy shit.

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

Yeah, you should probably leave. There are multiple racist cesspool social media platforms you'd feel at home with. Hell, one is run by the President and another is run by the de facto President. Plus, you guys have the largest fake news cable network in the nation. Why are you feeling so persecuted? Oh right, that whole victim complex you guys got going on.

I mean, come on. Your daddy is in. He's here with his "concepts of plans" to deconstruct our federal government and re-organize it to empower our oligarchs and erase the middle class. You should be happy. You're on top of the world right now. Well, the oligarchs are. You're just kind of rooting for them from the gutter. A cheerleader of sorts.

Running away is what they want us to do.

No, it's just what you're good at. Stay cucked out there.

The mods were all delicate trolls. Maybe the admins had had enough of their bullshit?

Admins have enough and removes the mods to take control

I'm defending Nazi's or Nazi salutes.

Accidental honesty, lmao?

The fact that, upon learning literal Nazism is the reason behind this, you turn around and say, "Now hold on, let's get the facts, good people on both sides, let's find a new place, blah blah blah," kinda tells the whole story.

I'm not a conservative but I would love to see people with opinions other than comically far left have somewhere to call home.

I joined world because I didn't really know what Lemmy was and I was just "trying it out" after I got banned from all of reddit across all my accounts (they never told me why and instantly denied my appeal).

If a more open minded instance pops up or you create it let me know.
