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.

So people are only honest when they agree with you? That's a terrible test for honesty.
While the comparison does make sense, it ignores the damage caused by branching off to create a new echo chamber.
More like this community is for certain kinds of posts. Like a cats community banning dog posts, for example. Posting dog posts in a cats community and acting like they belong isn't done in good faith. Ignorance maybe, but you don't strick me as ignorant.
And what damage? The old community was overrun with off topic/bad faith/troll/whatever-it-is posts. Not to mention completely abandoned by the mods.
But this isn't just a simple fan subreddit for animals. It's a place that influences votes, and therefore is subject to the dangers of echo chambers.
Echo chambers increase extremism, polarization, and can otherwise negatively effect people.
I don't think we're in any danger of right wing extremism on lemmy.
That's what people thought on reddit.
Lol, listen to your sophistry.
Try even disagreeing with anything on communist/socialist/hexbear, etc community and see how fast you get banned.
Nothing progressives are hypocritical at every turn.
If you can't go two seconds without going to whataboutism, then you have no room to complain about sophistry.
I don't think those leftist communities should be echo chambers either.
