    Rule 2 sums it up well. 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.

    So no, the point isn’t to watch anyone rage off them but to have a discussion on the topic.

    I help mod this one, and then I have another message board I run as well. It leans mostly liberal but with some conservatives. The main difference is that Lemmy people really don’t want a conversation; they want an echo chamber and for everyone to agree with their ideas.

    In my other forum, we have discussions for the most part. Sometimes we get a little silly, but we do have some dialogue on the topics.

      You claim here to want discussion, but you’re using your own metrics to define if a post is conservative “enough” and leaving the rest of us to figure it out on our own at risk of ban.

      So which is it? Do you want a discussion, where beliefs are challenged, arguments are presented and dissent is inevitable, or do you just want a curated list of posts to reinforce your echo chamber? The two are not compatible.
