It’s nice to see a place where conservative ideas can be expressed without being buried. It makes me feel less alone.

Which conservative ideas, though? It's fine to disagree on like tax policy, or food regulation, but hopefully you can understand why many people won't tolerate beliefs that actively harm others, even if you firmly hold those beliefs
They would need to be force feeding me conservative content in order for me to be able to answer the question. They're not and never have been. Same applies to ads.
If you learn how to curate your feed, it won't be an issue.
I tell some people to KYS just so the website forces me into a ban for 6 days.
Its nice.
edit: The people I say this to are genuinely scum of the earth. Pedos, People that share animal abuse vids, and people that disrespect the current situation surrounding school shootings.
Sounds like a healthy use of your time
Which one? getting myself purposefully muted? I'd say it is yea. If extensions/willpower cant stop me from being sucked into this website then getting myself banned will fix that. So even if I go back to the site, I cant do anything. That way I can force myself into breaking from it/doing other things.
The only reason I got so caught up in using it was because of the election. I had never used it before then. For 2 weeks I would be on the site CONSTANTLY, responding to comments left to me just mere minutes ago. It was a habit that had gotten way out of control. So what better way to break this habit than me being forced into taking a break from it by catching a temp ban

Not all humans live in America. It is possible for people to use Twitter without seeing material related to your country's political shituation.
Pot, kettle
Edit I'm a dumb dumb and used the wrong phrase.
I mean Lemmy is social media just like Twitter, and is not free from the risk of political "forcing"
So I meant it like Twitter, Lemmy. But me dumb
A forum is social media? I don't know any motherfucker here.
Absolutely, in so much as posts are made by people with the intention of it being seen, and possibly swaying people to an idea.
Anonymity does not change this. It's not like people know everyone they see a post for on Twitter either
Edit aside from my using the wrong phrase, it's funny that folks think Lemmy is special
