Due to some confusion, the /Conservative mod team have decided to clarify rule 2. The actions taken will remain the same, this is a rewrite to hopefully clarify what rule 2 is, and what /Conservative is.
Rule 2 is “posts must be right wing, and comments can be of any political leaning.” This is to garner discussion, to bring to light stories and perspectives that may be absent in other communities. and to allow discussion on these stories and perspectives. Hopefully, that makes sense.
We’re rewriting Rule 2 to read:
Posts must be made from an (American) right-wing perspective. This does not include comments, be as lefty as you want in the comments. If you feel it’s unclear, please check Allside’s Media Bias Chart and feel free to message the mods if you have any questions. We reserve the right to make judgment calls.
If you think that this is unclear, please leave a comment below.
Yeah that’s some mealy mouthed shit, just as vague but now with a fig leaf of justification for the nonsense you pull on a daily basis.
Like, its fine if you want a conservative hug box, but it’s pathetic that you want one and are too afraid to even come out and admit it.

Arguably, you’ve created the problem by being too specific. And it’s your community to run, not mine, so take whatever I say in whatever fashion you prefer, but this is inevitably the end result of trying to make the rules as specific as possible: you get people who just try to work around the exact wording you chose. Fix one loophole, and they’ll find another.

Thats true. Its kinda tricky to write the perfect rule, and I’ve rewritten it about 10 times before just sending it. Its part of why I added the “We reserve the right to make our own judgements” bit.

Can the rule be changed such that people who do nothing but cry about the rule are in violation?
Given the amount of children who run Lemmy communities that will ban people for not being nice, ban someone using mean words, it sounds ike /Conservative is group that moderators will not listen to complaints about hurt feelings.
Does this mean I can say something ike men are losers and women are whackjobs?
No. Thats called sexism. Its bigotry. Falls under rule 1.
But to answer your thought, we are fairly lenient. Usually on borderline stuff, I’ll either let it go or issue a warning. Even on clear cut stuff, I’ll usually only give out 1 day or 1 week bans.
Maybe its a little too lenient, but I’d rather too lenient than too strict.
