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 still think conservatives deserve a place on Lemmy and in Lemmy.world where incivility and misinformation can be properly moderated.
The pervious mods of the conservative communities have proven they can’t be fair and unbiased.
If you look at their hilariouschaos community you can see they are still heavy-handed and thin-skinned more apt to moderate based on feelings than fact.
I’m still volunteering to run this and/or lemm.ee’s community as a proper conservative community.
I see your point, but last I saw there were (excluding .worlds one) 2 "proper" conservative comms and 2 instances (comms on .ee, SJW and for instances HilariousChaos and iirc reddthat) and those are just what showed up from a quick search which is kinda unreliable sometimes so there are likely more
The way I envisioned it was that eventually would try to reign in one of the others and this one would just be the parody meme comm focused on conservatives (globally too! Conservative ideals aren't just confined to the US) with !politicalmemes@lemmy.world serving as a more generalist political meme comm and .ee/SJWs versions serving as the "proper/ serious" comms (should reasonable conservative talking point be found)
