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.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
They've told people posts will be removed if it doesn't align with the story they want told lol
I’m giving them an opportunity to directly state as much. I don’t expect them to, but here’s their chance.
Oh I know. I've done it all before. Same deal, Fox source nothing bad. Still got removed. They don't care.
Yeah I remember the guy that got banned for “homophobia” on a thread having absolutely nothing to do with the subject 😂
Yeah, that dude was going around calling people "softy", which is homophobia adjacent, and tbh, most modding is just horrid judgement calls, and sometimes you judge wrong. But if you're too lenient, you get daily slapfights and thats no good either.
Modding is surprisingly hard. Ask me how I know, Im about the most public about my modding fuckups.
I don’t doubt that you have to walk a line and sometimes make mistakes. We’re all human, here.
But not only did the specific comments removed have nothing to do with that wording, that’s also not very homophobia-adjacent at all.
While I appreciate the work you do and your attempts to be fair and balanced here, that explanation does not fit with the specific thread I’m talking about, nor is it reason enough to constitute a ban on that user’s account, even if he was being a bit of a turd. That one was a mistake.
It definitely was a mistake. I mean the Nazi word ban was stupidity, but at least that only fucked up this sub and got my account banned from half of lemmy. The homophobia reason messed it up for his account too, that was just wrong of us to do.
I truly appreciate you saying that, and will openly admit I’ve made some mistakes here as well. All we can do is try to do better :)
