Taking a look at what gets upvoted and what is downvoted to oblivion, it’s quite clear what the community at large wants.

We don’t want !conservative@lemmy.world to be just another “serious conservative comm” any longer, they have whole instances dedicated to their kind of “free speech” and other comms as well.

So to that end I have thrown my hat in the ring to be mod and steer this comm to be what people want it to be so show your support at https://lemmy.world/post/25837943

I have also typed out a proposed draft set of rules to keep things from “going off the rails”:

1. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.

2. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion—this isn’t one of them.

3. Highlight Contradictions: The best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

4. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

5. No News Zone: Memes only, news should be sent to the nearest relevant comm

6. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them.

7. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way.

8. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

9. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm.

10. Remember The Purpose: This community exists as a pressure valve—a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics.
