Why were all the mods removed from this community today, leaving it un-modded?

    conservative communities are highly sensitive to anything that goes against the echo chamber

    You’re describing Lemmy.

    And I didn’t see the nazi salute that started the shitshow. So I have no clue what happened with that other than the fact that it’s been removed.

      I guess the bigger question you should be asking yourself is why Nazis keep showing up in the conservative movement. Why their leaders court them for votes. Why their leaders are performing Nazi salutes at presidential inaugurations.

      Weird how the left doesn’t have a Nazi problem.

      Can you expand on that for us?

  Hi.

  The admin is suddenly ban hammer happy too.

  The only person who was banned is the one who posted the Nazi salute picture.

  Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

  Lemm.ee has a single new admin (JuiceMachine). The rest of us have been here for over a year and the decision to de-mod this community is not a new idea. We are not removing the community at this time, we just feel it has not been effectively moderated to fit in with Lemm.ee’s rules. We want to observe how things go and take further action if needed.

    But that seems counter to what was said by a lemm.ee admin just three months ago. They seemed fine with the mods then:

    So will you keep it unmodded? Because that seems like a worse idea. Your community, your rules, but I’m just wondering about the thoughts behind leaving a “controversial” community unmodded.

    And the person who posted the Nazi salute pic is not the only person to be banned on Lemm.ee lately.

    So are you telling me that lemm.ee has NOT changed it’s attitudes towards banning and what it allows on here in the last few weeks?

    I’m not implying you are wrong, I would like qualification. Because I have seen other peopel say the same thing to. There seems to be a much lower tolerance lately.

    But to you knowledge, no meetings, no talks, or anything of the sort about reigning people in a bit more? Nothing about outside instances pressuring you?

      “Unmodded” might not be the right word. To clarify, there will be no “community moderators”, but we the admin team will keep an eye on it for the time being. We feel that there was an issue with reports from the queue being resolved by mods, but with no action taken against unacceptable content. It made it sort of a blind spot for us, hence the Nazi salute celebration hitting the front page of the community for 2 days.

      Lemm.ee is growing pretty quickly and people get banned every day - the modlog is public. A recent uptick is possible, but our admin activity can fluctuate pretty sporadically depending on IRL stuff. Any tolerance of unacceptable content is due to blind spots as stated above, or us simply not having had the time or resources.

  Support of nazis isn’t the free speech you think it is.

  “differing opinions”

  I mean I know you guys love playing victim, but holy shit.

  Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.

  Yeah, you should probably leave. There are multiple racist cesspool social media platforms you’d feel at home with. Hell, one is run by the President and another is run by the de facto President. Plus, you guys have the largest fake news cable network in the nation. Why are you feeling so persecuted? Oh right, that whole victim complex you guys got going on.

  I mean, come on. Your daddy is in. He’s here with his “concepts of plans” to deconstruct our federal government and re-organize it to empower our oligarchs and erase the middle class. You should be happy. You’re on top of the world right now. Well, the oligarchs are. You’re just kind of rooting for them from the gutter. A cheerleader of sorts.

  Running away is what they want us to do.

  No, it’s just what you’re good at. Stay cucked out there.

  source

  • barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yeah, you should probably leave.

    This instance, sure. But we won’t leave Lemmy. More conservatives are coming too. Lemmy isn’t a democrat/lib-only place.

    Why are you feeling so persecuted?

    I’m not. We actually won the election. I feel vidicated.

    I also fully expect to be banned for saying that. lmao

      Ok. No one cares if you stay or leave. We’re just trying to get you to stop crying. You’re just upset that this isn’t like /r/conservative where only flaired and vetted conservative users can post along party lines. You’re not used to getting pushback in a conservative space and you’re having a little freakout over it.

      I’m not. We actually won the election.

      Then why are you crying?

      I also fully expect to be banned for saying that

      No one’s banning you. You just like playing victim.

  I for one love the conservative communities on lemmy and don’t block them.

  That way, I can block the users that post the content and not have to see them anywhere else.

  source

  • barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Hey, I can agree with that line of thought. I’m all for you blocking whoever you want. I’m not for blocking them because they aren’t part of the majority on Lemmy.

  I’m defending Nazi’s or Nazi salutes.

  Accidental honesty, lmao?

  The fact that, upon learning literal Nazism is the reason behind this, you turn around and say, “Now hold on, let’s get the facts, good people on both sides, blah blah blah,” kinda tells the whole story.

      I think any place can be improved by the removal of Nazis and fascists.

    But aren’t trolls people, who for example, post things to communities they don’t agree with, just to be spiteful? Kinda like you’re doing right now?

    Running away is 100% what I would like you to do.

    Of course you would. I am totally aware that you all want this to be an echo-chamber with no diversity of opinion.

    But that’s exactly why you lost the election AND why you all were so surprised that you lost. Because you refuse to pay any attetion to anyone who disagrees with you.

    We’re not going anywhere. Maybe a new instance, but Lemmy is going to have conservatives on it. Accept it.

    Or not. I don’t care either way.

    source

    • PapaSkwat@lemy.lol ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      You misunderstood, I’ve never wanted this to be an echo chamber. I came here looking for conversations but found that the echo chamber was already well established. I want the echo chamber and it’s supporters to fuck ALL the way off.

      Please find a post anywhere in this community with a diverse opinion, god knows you never posted anything that tried to pop the bubble. It’s boot licking and cruelty all the way down.

      We lost because the Republican party is REALLY good at running fear-based disinformation campaigns and a lot of Americans are not very smart and easily influenced.

      We’re not going anywhere.

      Buddy, unless you’re extremely wealthy, we’re all going the same place together, which is down. We can hold hands if you want.

  Wow, RIP that community then. Anybody know of a good alternative? I run @rightwingvideos@thelemmy.club but the purpose of that community is strictly videos. In many cases when I see censorship in communities I make communities, but I generally don’t like making ideologically tilted communities unless the content I would post literally wouldn’t fit anywhere else (I did make @opeds@thelemmy.club for heavily biased or opinion articles, but they can be either left leaning or right leaning).

  I’m not a conservative but I would love to see people with opinions other than comically far left have somewhere to call home.

  I joined world because I didn’t really know what Lemmy was and I was just “trying it out” after I got banned from all of reddit across all my accounts (they never told me why and instantly denied my appeal).

  source

  • barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    .world is definitely not an open-minded one, in my opinion.

    In my opinion, the most open minded one so far is sh.itjust.works.

    But I will admit I haven’t visited all of the Lemmy’s. Lemm.ee USED to be one of the more openminded ones, but something has changed lately. They def try to shut down disenting voices now. Not sure if they got pressured into it or what happened. But a change started 2 or 3 weeks ago.

    Hey, I see you deleted your posts and comments but I wanted to respond anyway for the sake of clarity.

    I agree with your points about downvotes and this community being a source of opposition media. If we were against this, the community would’ve been removed a long time ago. The community is still up. We aren’t going to curate or over-police it. It’s in an awkward phase for sure, but the community is still pro-conservatism. I don’t necessarily want to see it turn into an anti-conservative dunk zone. There are plenty other places for that.

    Deciding to keep using this community or to move instances - that’s up to the people. Our main concern is keeping things in line with Lemm.ee’s rules, and not allowing unacceptable content to be left up for as long as it was the other day.
