A community for some conservative points of view. You can comment but not post articles, because there are bad-faith posters who want to post horrible content just to get people in trouble.
Rule 0: Serial downvoters who downvote out of hate and don't interact with the community will be banned.
🍃🌻 Rule 1: Kindly be empathetic and kind to others. Trolling and spamming will not be tolerated. Making the community a friendly & supportive place is our goal.
All of us are here for a short lifetime. Let’s have a nice time here and avoid negativity. :)
Please be respectful, even if you don't agree.
Don't personally attack people. Don't call them names.
Be grown-ups.

Good, since all of these "counter productive" articles are coming out, you should be happy.
Who raped a 14 year old? Where are the facts of that? Any news articles?
You don't even live in the US and you have all these comments about the US election. Maybe you should work on fixing things in your country instead of ours?
Hilarious you want to comment on him not being in the US but having opinions when you post the worst possible British tabloid's take on America. You are a parody of yourself.
Thank you! Actually I like the Daily Mail, though. It's a great mag.
Hmmm, looks like a lot of people like the "terrible" tabloid. Maybe it's not that terrible. :)
Also, the Mail has an American office. So your comment doesn't really hold up.
Feel free to start your own community and only post the news you want to. I'll support ya!

Oh man, I guess just because you hate it doesn't mean it's doing bad. Oh well. You keep hating, they'll keep making money, and I'll keep posting stuff from them. :)
I'll keep laughing about it too.
Conveniently skipping wikipedia's Criticism section to sing the praises of a foreign country's news organization doesn't scream Selection Bias at all. /s
Just like how you conveniently skip how many people like and visit the Daily Mail. Doesn’t scream Selection Bias at all. /s
Plus you didn't ask for facts about criticism.
You conflate visiting a page with liking it or supporting it. The fact I'm in your community proves people sometimes go to corners of the internet they don't like. But far be it from me to explain to a conservative that winning a popularity contest doesn't mean it's correct or right in any way.
No you're right, when discussing quality of a news source I don't mean we should talk about any criticism levied against them repeatedly over the years. Why do that when you agree with this pro-Trump article right here?
So millions of people visit a site daily, and have so over years, because they don't like it. Ok. Sure.
Top notch discourse. 👍 I don't know why this place isn't teeming with intellectuals. Your walled garden isn't dying or anything.
My walled garden is doing awesome. Why would it be dying? I'm posting exactly what I want. And it's not going away. I'm not going away.
But hey, I'm just the lowly Lemmy jester after all. So I'm no bother. :)
The sequel to your community seems healthier. It routinely stays in the positive. But you're right, you don't need people commenting, voting, or posting to be a healthy online community. Every visitor is it's own upvote because people only click on links they adore and are fanatics about.
That's a good thing. Yay!
I even have a sticky in my community with a link to that community. And I've posted the link to that community in other forums to advertise it.
Why would I be upset that another conservative community is doing well? I'm the one who recommended to him to start his own community. I'm happy for him!
More conservatives are a good thing for Lemmy. Be sure to go over there and upvote. Spread that positive vibe.
Go post some stuff there, since you seem to be upset that I don't let people post here. He lets ya post whatever, whenever. Great alternative to my community!
I know.
So see? Problem solved. Now you can be happy and smile more. See how that works? :)
Whatever, whenever? They booted you for shit you said in another community. That mod is your antithesis.
His community, his rules. He's free to do whatever he wants with his community. I'm stoked that his community is doing great, and I still have a sticky with a link to his community in my community.
Again, I'm the one that recommended he start the community, after he commented here and expressed some opinions.
He thought about it a bit, then he did it. Good for him! I recommend you do the same thing. Regardless of what your political leanings are.
Right? See? That's a good thing. More conservatives on Lemmy. And likable too. That's awesome news and I celebrate it. It's great for Lemmy!
He seems like a great guy. I have no problem with him at all.
