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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Highlight Contradictions: The best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
- Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
- No News Zone: Memes only, news should be sent to the nearest relevant comm
- Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them.
- Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way.
- Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
- Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm.
- Remember The Purpose: This community exists as a pressure valve—a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics.
I’d rather that community be shutdown and locked then turned into a meme community antagonizing the group it’s named for.
Or, you could just block it and move on with life like an adult.
cm0002 can NOT do that. He lives online, yet calls other people who post a lot, “trolls.” lol
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?
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
