c/conservative has been left modless. I’d like to request to moderate and clean up any misinformation on this community.

I am consistently online here and prepared to take on the responsibility.

Thank you for your consideration!

The requested community link is !conservative@lemmy.world

Additionally, I’d also like to request !fastfood@lemmy.world as for that one it seems a spam account created it and has since been abandoned for months

ETA:

Given the controversial nature of the comms topic, I have decided to add a proposed set of rules that I was thinking about, to keep it strictly parody without 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.
  1. 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.
  1. Highlight Contradictions: The best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
  1. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news should be sent to the nearest relevant comm
  1. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them.
  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way.
  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
  1. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm.
  1. Remember The Purpose: This community exists as a pressure valve—a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics.

    Regarding !conservative@lemmy.world, let’s give it a shot. Right now Lemmy has three prominent conservative communities, none of them have been great, and all three are unmoderated at the moment. We might as well try something new. You are now the mod of the community. Best of luck!

    I gave you !fastfood@lemmy.world, too. It definitely looks like it was created by a spam bot.

    Edit: I’m going to speak in my Moderator voice for this comment just for funsies.

    I support @cm0002@lemmy.world for mod.

    It’s always been a trolling community. From posting articles written by Tyler Durden (of Fight Club fame) to a mod that would ban you for “ableism” and turn around and say all liberals are infected with the woke mind virus, the community did not further conservative ideas. They wanted to present themselves as a space for respectful discussions but there was no respect. Just one side and a ban if you didn’t stay in line no matter how egregious the claims that were made in the post.

    The previous mod knew this. That’s why he was diligent to ensure that server admins never saw any reports. It became an echo chamber with extreme viewpoints that frankly the offline Republicans I know IRL don’t want to interface with.

    If not cm0002, then go ahead and shut it down.

      agreed. extremely valid points being made. a community purpose should be largely a decision of the community at large, based on participation and engagement. it’s clear there is a substantially higher degree of rich conversations happening on so called meme posts than in “ideological conservative” posts which simply parrot right wing media headlines (and offer very little to discuss or engage ideas).

        thanks, it has been 5 days already and there is still no moderator designated for this community … I will simply ask another administrator to step in …

    I’d rather that community be shutdown and locked then turned into a meme community antagonizing the group it’s named for.

      locked then turned into a meme community antagonizing the group it’s named for.

      I get what you’re saying, but this specific group already does this to scale. Truth Social is an entire major SM company that, while not explicitly stated, serves to "own the libs*

      Even on the Fediverse there are whole Lemmy/mastodon instances dedicated to “owning the libs”, even this very community has allowed meme/mockery posts to “own the libs”

      Why are we not allowed to have a comm that does the same as long as it’s kept reasonable (i.e. no targeted attacks of a specific user)?

      “Taking the high road” has utterly failed with this group as they have demonstrated time and time again from nationwide down to hyper localized communities, that they will take advantage of that.

        And are you all happy they do that? Because you’re proposing to do the same thing. So how does that make you any better than them?

          Well, being better than them constantly for over two decades has brought the orange Cheeto in power for a second term.

          Maybe it’s high time we try to get to their level to fight them using their same tactics?

          You sound a lot like people attacking Luigi because “violence has never solved anything”. Looks like violence is helping Ukrainians defending themselves against Russia, why couldn’t it also help the middle and poor classes in their fight against the oligarchs? Remember that these same oligarchs are actively killing you by denying your right to healthcare and by filling your body with poisons and microplastics, a violent act is not just a physical one ;)

          And, as many other commenters have already noted, if you don’t like what Cm0002 is doing you can always block his or her posts and move on with your life posting what YOU think should be posted, nobody is forcing you to follow this instance or any content posted by specific users

            Ok, so how would you feel if conservatives teamed up and started to take over lib communites. Would you be ok with that?

            Cm0002 is doing you can always block his or her posts and move on with your life posting what YOU think should be posted

            Oh I do. Just because I noted it, doesn’t mean I am THAT bothered by it. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of it. But I post to plenty of other places and will continue to do so. If he takes over the sub, then I’ll just stop posting there and create other communites.

        I think your proving my point. You have no intention of being a good faith moderator of a conservative community.

        You want to stick it to conservatives, fair enough, but I don’t think that fits lemmy.worlds mission for a community, and this it’s better to lock the community

          Agreed! I admire your balls to stand up to the wave of hate and downvotes.

          It’s crazy that you get downvoted so much for having a fair opinion. lol
