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”:
- 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.

My actual question… will it be visibly different? I mean the colbert report at the time, was actually convincing enough that at least a few conservatives missed the satire and asked why he turned so left when he started his night show.
Me and some others have already been posting memes the last week if you want to see the vibe I’m trying to go for, just ignore the (heavily downvoted) “news” links lol
I can’t say I have any sympathy for them. Several times I would comment on their posts with what I thought were legitimate questions and each time I would be told I wasn’t allowed to ask any questions or say anything they didn’t agree with because it’s a conservative community. Most of the time someone would remove whatever I had asked anyway.
If the snowflakes can’t even manage a simple reasonable conversation then they don’t deserve a community
How long before the fuck-your-feelings crowd feels their feelings fucked?
muh freeze peach :(
I would never be able to compete with the genius of freeze peach! Sadly even my best vision for [email protected] would be overshadowed by their greatness :(
(please no ban for seven Christmases!)
It’s too bad you can’t change the name of a community after the fact so it would be easier to know it’s not a true conservative community.
Unless you wanna keep it as a trap. That’s the only reason I didn’t block it: I could just find who was posting actual conservative bullshit and block them so I don’t have to deal with their shit outside this space.
lemmy.blahaj.zonemight have an instance ban on that community. I’m not sure if the community can block members of instances, but I can’t see the community, and it’s not part of my user block list.It’s prob an instance ban, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least, if I am made mod, I’ll be sure to reach out to the blahaj admin team to let them know of the new management lol
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.
