      Thank you @realcaseyrollins, genuinely.

      We hardly ever get along but this is sweet of you and I truly appreciate it.

      He continuously posted articles in violation of r2. It’s a two day ban to discourage violating rule 2

            Rule 2 sums it up well. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

            So no, the point isn’t to watch anyone rage off them but to have a discussion on the topic.

            I help mod this one, and then I have another message board I run as well. It leans mostly liberal but with some conservatives. The main difference is that Lemmy people really don’t want a conversation; they want an echo chamber and for everyone to agree with their ideas.

            In my other forum, we have discussions for the most part. Sometimes we get a little silly, but we do have some dialogue on the topics.

              You claim here to want discussion, but you’re using your own metrics to define if a post is conservative “enough” and leaving the rest of us to figure it out on our own at risk of ban.

              So which is it? Do you want a discussion, where beliefs are challenged, arguments are presented and dissent is inevitable, or do you just want a curated list of posts to reinforce your echo chamber? The two are not compatible.

        Then you should either enforce it universally or remove the rule.

        There’s a post that’s been up for hours that’s in clear violation. Why is that one ok but mine get removed in minutes?

        If it’s a question of bandwidth then get more mods.

          If you think something is in violation. Report it and we will look at it. We mainly look at reported content.
