I want to get y’all thoughts on it. I want to avoid having 5,000 rules that are impossible to follow, but this one seems prudent.
Just a simple [Satire] in the titles would be enough.
Edit: I won’t add a rule about a satire tag.

Partially unrelated, but I still of the opinion that “liberal” posts should be allowed beyond just the comments. Otherwise news of things like Isreal’s refugee camp airstrike killing civilians have no chance to be brought up except through whataboutisms.
When you post lefty stuff, it buries the right wing stuff. Lemmy is about 99% left wing, half of them straight up communist. They upvote lefty stuff and downvote right wing stuff, regardless of quality or facts or anything. Votes are used an agree/disagree button.
This sub is sort of a foothold for right wingers. It allows for diversity of thought on an site scale.
I’m pretty sure I’ve gone over this.
It’s almost like conservatism isn’t able to compete in a true free market of ideas.
Dude you’ve been posting shit like breitbart here. You don’t actually care about quality or facts.
Banning posts that are critical of conservatism is not “diversity of thought”.
tbh it makes sense that the right wingers’ channel may need a tag to discern satire from reality.
Even when I post stuff directly from amnesty international, it gets downvoted. https://lemm.ee/post/12963343?scrollToComments=true
Downvotes are not about source. It’s about agree/disagree.
Also you can’t read minds.
Which is why I added “on a site scale” which you conveniently didn’t copy over. This sub doesn’t exist in a vacuum, there’s plenty of places for lefty content, and you can subscribe to both. Like the .world sub.
Its a bit like saying a cat sub should also have dog posts. Theres a place for dogs, and theres a place for cats. You don’t need to muddy the waters.
Because this is c/conservative, and like I said, conservatism is incapable of competing in a true, free market of ideas.
No, but I guarantee you that I read way more liberal comments than you do.
For some people it will be.
No it’s not, because dog/cat topics don’t influence votes, which have immense, real world consequences.
Im not going to bother with the rest, its not worth the effort, but
This sub has 44 subscribers and 68 users/month. Thats not immense by any stretch of the imagination.
Reddit’s r/conservative started out at a similarly low sub count.
In any case, its not immense now, and I think its good for lemmy. Has /r/conservative lead to anything bad?
It definitely contributed toward’s Trump’s presidency to say the least.
