Cross posting here for visibility as I was thinking that a good chunk of you guys might have blocked [email protected] so may be unaware of what’s going down and would like everyone to have a chance to voice their opinion on it.

Tl;Dr: .world, .ee and SJW conservative comm mods have either abandoned or been removed (shocker) within the last 2 weeks or so.

I have pitched my name in to mod the .world comm as a meme comm to parody conservative ideology, below is the original post I made on it as well as a link to the .world support comm request post

Original: https://lemmy.world/post/26088940

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 [email protected] 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.
  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.

    The last week or so has been kinda odd. I know there are only a very small handful of conservatives around here so it really feels like “we’ve” basically just stormed an empty room that they occasionally occupy and started taking a dump on the floor multiple times a day. The thought “poking the bear” has crossed my mind at times, not that there’s any threat involved.

    I wish there was an actual conservative community that could welcome opposition and not just post whatever nonsense Breitbart or Fox has to say… I have to say it was refreshing to see the conservative reddit posts that the “leopards ate my face” bot picked up. At least they were being honest about how absurd this administration is being. Unfortunately for all they say about “the left” censoring opposition, they just seem to want a circlejerk safe space for “flaired only” users. I sure do see a lot of opposing ideas/opinions in various threads from “the left” though. Just go too far left and they start censoring again according to some.

      I think the only conservative community that would fly would be economic focused. Conservative social issues are a joke.

      Having watched reddit go from a place where Nazis were a laughable minority to a place where accounts get suspended for speaking truth in front-page right-wing circlejerk subs…

      I don’t give a shit about conservatives on Lemmy.

      Fuck every last one of them. I hope they have a miserable time and leave. I hope they warn their friends. Fools and bastards, the lot of them.

        Unfortunately I see this happening to every major social media platform once a piece of shit billionaire gets hold of it. People disgusted by it leave and that just leaves the bootlicking Nazis left. :/

          Twitter was already awful when Elmo seized it, and reddit became an alt-right megaphone long before selling out. This also happens when well-meaning people keep fretting, ‘those conservatives also deserve a place to speak their mind.’

          No they don’t.

          They’re Nazis.
