This is a new community on a platform that has had a massive surge of users, so there are going to be growing pains for a bit. My goal as a mod is to allow for conversation on both liberal and conservative ideas, and I believe several other mods agree with me. We may become more strict if this does become a liberal community, though.
An important tool for the mod team too is you guys flagging/reporting posts and comments. I check in almost every day and have received no reports for over two weeks. As the community grows, this will become even more important since we can’t read every post or comment. I have read nearly every one though, lol.
I'm an anarchist and also think liberals suck, I'd love to have real conversations with conservatives. For example, I'd like to ask a conservative what they think of this statement:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Is that true or true-ish? If not, why? If so, why is that ok?
This is an example of what I personally want in this community. A conservative echo chamber limits free speech and criticism of conservative values, which weakens conservatives and conservatism.
