A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".

This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

Rules:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.

  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.

  2. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.

A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.

  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.

For more general political memes please see [email protected]

  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.

  2. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

  3. For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.

And above all, HAVE FUN!

MODERATORS
 

I am officially a mod of [email protected] ! What does that mean?

It means that this comm will be transitioning into a satire of conservatives comm, please look to what's been posted the last week or so for an idea of what I mean. I have purged the "serious" content (Yes that does mean some *anti-*conservative content was purged as well) for the past 2 weeks or so. I'll be continuing with time to purge it all.

I have decided against banning the right-wing users who've been posting the "serious" misinformation content from before this post because, unlike some conservatives, I don't believe in retroactive punishment when the rules change.

(To those users this post is the official warning, no trolling, no serious content or conservative supporting comments.

Continuing to post such content after the time this post is live will result in bans.)

Do watch your step during re-construction! Below is a draft set of rules that I had posted in my LW support request post, feel free to propose any suggestions! (The side bar has yet to be updated)

  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.

Don't worry @[email protected] I havent forgotten you, just got to get things organized out and settled

(I might be chronically online to some, but I still have IRL things to attend to lol)

Finally, I'll be getting in contact with other instance admins that may have blocked this comm for their instance from when it was "serious", I already know lemmy.blahaj.zone is one. But please lmk of any others you're aware of!

For now, I will allow tasteful, on topic and tagged NSFW. Just don't let it get out of hand.

Welcome to the new [email protected] everyone! Have fun!

The Reich wing is a satire of itself, so I'm glad this comm will actually be useful!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 weeks ago

I'm okay with conservative opinions as long as:

  1. It's not an echo chamber where any dissent or alternate opinions is banned like on reddit
  2. It's never about taking away rights or harming women and LGBTQ+ people
  3. People are discussing ideas on good faith.

I'm also okay with satirizing them because holy moly are they unhinged lately.

Also fuck Nazis and fuck MAGA.

Looks like the better user won.

Congratulations!

I'm a serious conservative. I believe in conserving the environment, indigenous sovereignty and culture, traditional knowledge of the land, natural resources, languages and religions, and indigenous communism.

I'm concerned about colonisers coming into our communities to spread gender roles, capitalism, and racism, which threaten to destroy society.

Am I welcome here?

How ironic... freedom by removing the freedom of speech of your opponents...

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

I think that's a bad decision. The name is counter-intuitive. This is making drama and removing content, so much for freedom I guess

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is making drama and removing content,

Lol being a serious conservative sub generated WAY more drama. As far as removing content goes, almost everything I purged was just straight misinfo/heavy biased source links like Breitbart (and that crap doesn't belong anywhere) or was crossposted elsewhere

so much for freedom I guess

Not having tolerance for intolerance is not reducing "freedom"

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

What I’m accusing you of is removing the place where people with a specific political opinion discuss. I’m ok with disinformation being removed of course, but if you remove the space that’s meant for "A" and you make it into a satire of "A" by "B" people, well you’re essentially acting against freedom.

They have 1-2 whole instances plus 2 other comms for their kind of ~~hate~~ "speech".

I suppose there might still be true strictly fiscal conservatives out there who go left on all the social politics bull, but I have yet to see one here. If one does show up they might be better off just making a new comm called "fiscal conservatives" or something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

They can go to Reddit or X.
