  @HunterOfGunners @wintermute_oregon I mean TBF that's literally the point of this community, no? To post conservative stories and watch wokebois rage over them?

    Do you get the feeling that’s actually happening around here?

    Rule 2 sums it up well. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

    So no, the point isn’t to watch anyone rage off them but to have a discussion on the topic.

    I help mod this one, and then I have another message board I run as well. It leans mostly liberal but with some conservatives. The main difference is that Lemmy people really don’t want a conversation; they want an echo chamber and for everyone to agree with their ideas.

    In my other forum, we have discussions for the most part. Sometimes we get a little silly, but we do have some dialogue on the topics.

      You claim here to want discussion, but you’re using your own metric to define if a post is conservative “enough”.

      So which is it? Do you want a discussion, where beliefs are challenged, arguments are presented and dissent is inevitable, or do you just want a curated list of posts to reinforce your echo chamber?

      @wintermute_oregon Maybe saying that the rage cycle is "the point" is a bit extreme, but the leftist members of this community can't really seem to help it lol
