A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

As a lot of you guys know by now, I struggle writing rules. I'm looking to get feedback on some rules written by a helpful user, that I really think should be implemented because they are clear and actually show the intent I have.

  1. No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, anti centrist or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and pointing out the failures of our ideological interlocutors. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Be Civil. 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 no personal attacks from either side will be tolerated.

  4. No Extremism. Calls for violence, pushing a narrative of religious, gender, sexual or racial supremacy, or any other forms of extremist rhetoric will be met with a permenant ban. Extreme statements which label an entire group are also unacceptable and may result in a temporary suspension.

  5. Be Excellent To Each Other. Remember the people you are arguing with are humans, and although you may disagree on the method, we are all looking to make a world where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is freely available to all.

What do you guys think?

Lemmy service by default has a very heavy leftist bent and favours authoritarian or tyrannical rule against anyone who has the wrong opinion or a set of unapproved beliefs.

When it's all children running a service and there are no adults who won't cry from reading words on the internet, there's only so much you can do regardig allowing wrong think and someone proving a person's statement is false.

For that reason, Lemmy will never grow and catch on, and for that same reason Mastodon will never be an alternative platform, both Lemmy and Mastodon's first rule is to censor and delete anybody that might use un-nice words and hurt people's feelings. Federated plaforms are ruled by children trying to live out a fantasy of make believe world made or candy and chocolated where everybody accepts everybody, everything is happy, problems don't exist, we all like each other, and nobody would dare disagree with anyone.
