Conservative
A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff
-
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.

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.
-
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.

Right now, the entire fediverse is a leftist echo chamber. The only way to not have this community also be a leftist echo chamber would be to not allow anti-conservative rhetoric
You're describing the creation of an echo chamber.
If you hate echo chambers so much, don't go making a new one.
The only way to not have this community also be a leftist echo chamber is to add our own voices to it so it doesn’t only have one view.
Perhaps this community should be called “conservatives allowed” and the way we keep it from being an echo chamber is we don’t ban people for expressing certain political beliefs.
The difference between this place and places that become a leftist echo chamber would then be: you can say conservative things and not get banned. This prevents the set of voices from becoming skewed, as it does in places where conservatives get banned for being conservative.
Another guy did that on lemmy.world a few months ago. That sub didn't last more than a few weeks because he kept breaking instances rules over bigotry.
Thats actually a common misconception. Aside from subs like c/leftism and such, nobody gets banned from the generic c/politics type ones for being conservative. Instead they get banned for breaking rules and bigotry/hate/aggressiveness.
The users TJD, MonoTimeToDie and Jimbolauski are good examples of this. TJD in particular has been calling users slurs left and right. One conservative user by a name I don't remember had a bit of a breakdown telling literally everyone to kill themselves in a thread they made to complain about liberals. It isn't a coincidence.
Edit; See bellow, MonoTimeToDie proving my exact point by calling me a rat.
Thank you for proving my point.
Again this same fallacy. I see this everywhere: people making assertions of the form “X does not occur”.
You’re wrong. I have been banned for being conservative from many communities not labeled as leftist.
Generally speaking if you’re about to make a statement of the form “X does not occur” just stop. There’s no way to know a thing like that, without having been everywhere and seen everything. Have some mental discipline. Recognize the limits of your own knowledge.
I'm using the colloquial sense of the word "nobody", therefore I was not stating it was an absolute. Have some mental discipline and ask for clarification before assuming something about what somebody is stating.
