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
 

conservatism@piefed.social

This is a community for conservatism. Every other conservative space in the Fediverse has devolved into extremism or bigotry. This will NOT be tolerated. The rules are as such:

  1. No racism or ethnosupremacism.
  2. No antisemitism (including dogwhistles or using right or left politics to deny it).
  3. No misogyny (such as saying women should not vote).
  4. No queer-hatred (disagreeing with their lifestyle is not a blank cheque for vitriol or exclusion).
  5. No ableism.
  6. No ageism.
  7. No slurs.
  8. No extremism.
  9. No personal attacks or strawmen on others (ad-hominens). ARGUE IN GOOD FAITH!
  10. No spam.
  11. No flood.
  12. No trying to find loopholes in the rules.
  13. Moderator and the host instance has the final say. Follow the Terms of Service of PieFed and, even if you may disagree with them, the broader Fediverse as a whole.

Edited for accuracy.

  1. Of course! Conservatism is usually a way of life, but there is ideological conservatism too that varies quite a lot.
  2. It is a bit more complicated. It means to conserve the ways that your peoples historically had, not a specific universal way.
  3. Of course. Hate is never welcome.

It means to conserve the ways that your peoples historically had, not a specific universal way.

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.

  1. No. Nobody is stuck in the traditions they were born into. And mixed couples likely have different traditions and that is fine. The child would have something called culturalgenesis. The combination of both the ways of their parents into a different way. In group homes or foster care, it is up to you to choose what you want to do. And of course we should have the freedom to modify our traditions. Slavery and Nazism were once 'traditions' and those were some of the worst evils known to man. Sometimes tradition needs to change. As for traditions one may no longer find valuable, it is useful to separate the reason for a tradition from the actual practice itself. You can apply the reason for it to many different things, even if you abandon the actual practice because you no longer believe in it. It is your perogative to change your mind or dislike something.
  2. Traditions need to be adapted to the modern times. The world has changed. We cannot be as we were in the past. It is about keeping the reason for the tradition intact and basing things on that, not neccessarily about an exact practice.

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.
