A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
!community@instance.com
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

MODERATORS
I won’t be joining this one, but I wish you good luck — this one seems like it’s gonna be a lot of work to moderate. Hope you manage to create a good space that advances positive ideas.
Sorry but conservative ain't about positive ideas
It can be. For example, I am for conserving things such as the world we live in, conserving fair competition, conserving justice, and conserving traditional values. Do not pollute, do not allow monopolies to form, do not ruin justice, do not be so rigid in tradition we that we refuse to change even harmful 'traditions', and do not destroy the world we all live in for this and our next lives. It is just many uses it as an excuse for vitriol.
Edited to fix spelling error.
It's that really something you want to conserve?
Justice around the world needs to be reformed.
What traditional values? That is a dog whistle for no gay marriage, women in the kitchen,
Those are not conservative policies policies
Genuinely curious as to what you mean by that?
That is not conservative policy either
Edited to add 6.
But you said:
You want a theocracy, and that's what you would get. You should be more honest about it.
You say you want a bunch of good stuff, but then you align yourself with a movement that doesn't. That is pure cognitive dissonance
What values are those, exactly?
The institutional traditions of being a shepherd of this world instead of destroying His creation and uphold justice. That and religion. Regardless, we all live here and if we mess up this world with pollutants, destroy ecosystems, or smash justice as if it means nothing at all... I shudder to think what would happen. We already have caused unfathomable damage by deforestation, throwing mercury in the water that poisons the fish, and hunting entire species to extinction en masse.
Edited to say the damage done to the environment.
I think you've confused "conservationism" with "conservatism".
No. I am a conservationalist AND a conservative. Conservationalism can be a part of conservatism, which means to conserve. The principle is simple: We cannot use the land if we destroy the land and He commanded us to shepherd His world, not destroy it.
Edited because I said conservationalism twice... lol.
Hey, good faith reply here. Conservatism doesn't simply mean "to conserve": it has different, specific political meanings depending on what country or political system you're referring to. Not only that, but plenty of political movements use labels that are more about sounding good than a truly accurate description of what they are. For example, Murray Rothbard deliberately stole the term "libertarian" (for American right-wing "libertarians") from its original connection to anarchism and libertarian socialism.
Also can you clarify your point about "traditional values"? As you said, different cultures and different time periods have had different traditions, so which ones are we conserving? If the answer is "any or all of them", then isn't that the same as "do whatever you like"? If the answer is a specific set of values, why those? That's not meant to be a gotcha, I'm legit interested in where you're coming from.
Thank you for explicitly banning nazis, fascists, and similar groups, along with other forms of bigotry. They are a plague on us all and have no place in any political camp.
So then everyone is essentially trapped in the traditions of the family they were born into? The details here can be complicated: Do children of blended families get to choose from among the cultures of their parents, or what about children in group homes or foster care? Should we not have the freedom to replace or modify the traditions we don't find meaningful, assuming we are not harming anyone else?
I grew up with a sense of resentment towards traditions i grew up with because they were done in a rote, check-the-box way. i saw no meaning in them. maybe a version more relevant to modern times would have given me more to appreciate.
hm. so im hearing that you're in favor of freedom to engage with, change, or not engage with traditions. This is the same position as is held by people who call themselves liberals and especially leftists of various types.
you are religious, but so are people all across the political spectrum, so that doesn't require conservatism on its own. you also don't seem to push your religion on anyone else.
you are clearly worried about the planet and ecology but don't tie it to a specific ethnic group, like when the right takes it up as an excuse to exclude others (e.g. Malthusian perspectives, ecofascism). an earnestly ecological outlook I've seen mostly in the center and on the left.
I think your positions make you more of a leftist. maybe you've been shown the left or individual leftists in a bad light... that happens a lot in media. or maybe you live in a former Soviet bloc country, which makes the left in general and "socialism" especially look bad (though I'd argue the ussr wasn't doing socialism).
if you're curious at all, I'd be glad to give you some materials on leftist positions as they actually are and not as they are portrayed by the right and the center.
It will definitely attract extremists. I looked at the broader Fediverse blocked instances and ALL OF THEM were banned for things such as bigotry or Nazism. It is unhinged behaviour and unbecoming! These types of communities or instances tends to devolve into circlejerks... I do not intend to let that happen. People may argue 'What about freedom of speech?!' and my answer is simple: 'Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence.' Do not use that principle to be hateful. It will not be tolerated here.
Heeeeeey I know you!
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Don’t judge me too harshly.
only good memories, I promise
You have the advantage of me, unfortunately
