That community should be renamed “links to the craziest and most unfounded shit I can find” but that doesn’t have the same ring as “conservative”
"Do you suffer from an increasing lack of Copium? Tired of being asked to take personal accountability or put critical thought into your opinions? Come to Conservative where it's always the Liberals' fault!"
“Do you believe everything you read or hear on a podcast? Want to skip the hassle of thinking for yourself and be told how to feel about issues that don’t directly affect you? If you’re angry with nowhere to direct that rage, come to Conservative!”
Please just stay on reddit on your "echo chambers" lmao
This post has been up two minutes and I think already has more positive votes than any other post here. That should say something
You would think being alone would make for some good echoes
I almost feel sorry for the users who think brigading other people's communities is a worthwhile use of their time, let alone making political discourse any healthier.
It must be jarring leaving their bot/troll protected safe spaces of twitter/reddit and interacting with sane normal people.
This and political compass memes
The dude has to be a troll. No one has this little self-awareness. (speaking of @Optionhome)
Edit: Seems like the dude had enough and migrated to conservatives only
lol. That Colbert Report header graphic.
Have you taken a close look at conservative America lately?
Sadly yes. Thankfully only from far away as I live in Europe.
Not far better either.
It depends…. But yeah, not much better… Europe is a few years behind and still going hard on neoliberalism, but the right is moving more and more to the right. And the “left” that has been winning ground is as fang-less and liberal as American Democrats. So yeah, we’re fucked as well. Only a few years behind lmao.
its gotta be. They've already had their own reddit replacement for years, no reason to come here other than to start a flame ware
They’ve already had their own reddit replacement for years
but Stormfront pre-dates reddit
They probably meant Voat
Meta discussion - the existence of this post makes the wonder what moderation tools on lemmy are like? And if there's systems in place to deal with unwanted content.

Edit: Changed "unmoderated communities" to "unwanted content" to clarify my intent to discuss moderation in general
This community is moderated. We receive reports and will act on them if the reported content breaks the rules in the sidebar: there is no racism or bigotry, no personal insults, and u/stanleytweedle has not been spamming.
Ironically by upvoting this post you are bumping the community to the top. It's free advertising
Yeah, but the community is filled with liberal posts anyway.
It's basically becoming like r/FlatEarth, where they make fun of flat earthers.
Please please please let this turn into a Reddit-like r/AnimeTitties situation. This was one of my favorite things about Reddit & the Internet in general.
literally the same exact concept
That's how modern Flat Earthers started. People made up the conspiracy theory as a joke people would be too dumb to ever believe.
And then...
Do I really have to endure crazies here aswell?
You don't have to endure shit, maybe stop brigading other people's communities if you don't like them. You can't possibly willingly search up a community for an ideology you don't agree with, then complain about having to see them.
I mean, sure he can.
You can block users and there's a big red "Block Community" button at the top right.
A community to discuss conservative politics and views.
