That community should be renamed “links to the craziest and most unfounded shit I can find” but that doesn’t have the same ring as “conservative”
Please just stay on reddit on your "echo chambers" lmao
This post has been up two minutes and I think already has more positive votes than any other post here. That should say something
You would think being alone would make for some good echoes
Ironically by upvoting this post you are bumping the community to the top. It's free advertising
Yeah, but the community is filled with liberal posts anyway.
It's basically becoming like r/FlatEarth, where they make fun of flat earthers.
Please please please let this turn into a Reddit-like r/AnimeTitties situation. This was one of my favorite things about Reddit & the Internet in general.
I hope we -also- get a well moderated !/anime_titties where we can discuss world news items.
literally the same exact concept
This and political compass memes
The dude has to be a troll. No one has this little self-awareness. (speaking of @Optionhome)
Edit: Seems like the dude had enough and migrated to conservatives only
its gotta be. They've already had their own reddit replacement for years, no reason to come here other than to start a flame ware
They’ve already had their own reddit replacement for years
but Stormfront pre-dates reddit
They probably meant Voat
lol. That Colbert Report header graphic.
Have you taken a close look at conservative America lately?
Sadly yes. Thankfully only from far away as I live in Europe.
Not far better either.
It depends…. But yeah, not much better… Europe is a few years behind and still going hard on neoliberalism, but the right is moving more and more to the right. And the “left” that has been winning ground is as fang-less and liberal as American Democrats. So yeah, we’re fucked as well. Only a few years behind lmao.
I almost feel sorry for the users who think brigading other people's communities is a worthwhile use of their time, let alone making political discourse any healthier.
It must be jarring leaving their bot/troll protected safe spaces of twitter/reddit and interacting with sane normal people.
Meta discussion - the existence of this post makes the wonder what moderation tools on lemmy are like? And if there's systems in place to deal with unwanted content.

Edit: Changed "unmoderated communities" to "unwanted content" to clarify my intent to discuss moderation in general
This community is moderated. We receive reports and will act on them if the reported content breaks the rules in the sidebar: there is no racism or bigotry, no personal insults, and u/stanleytweedle has not been spamming.
Do I really have to endure crazies here aswell?
You can block users and there's a big red "Block Community" button at the top right.
You don't have to endure shit, maybe stop brigading other people's communities if you don't like them. You can't possibly willingly search up a community for an ideology you don't agree with, then complain about having to see them.
I mean, sure he can.
A community to discuss conservative politics and views.
Rules:
No racism or bigotry.
Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn't provide the right to personally insult others.
No spam posting.
Submission headline should match the article title (don't cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
No trolling.
