c/conservative has been left modless. I'd like to request to moderate and clean up any misinformation on this community.

I am consistently online here and prepared to take on the responsibility.

Thank you for your consideration!

The requested community link is !conservative@lemmy.world

Additionally, I'd also like to request !fastfood@lemmy.world as for that one it seems a spam account created it and has since been abandoned for months

ETA:

Given the controversial nature of the comms topic, I have decided to add a proposed set of rules that I was thinking about, to keep it strictly parody without going off the rails:

  1. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
  1. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussionβ€”this isn't one of them.
  1. Highlight Contradictions: The best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
  1. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news should be sent to the nearest relevant comm
  1. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We're here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them.
  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way.
  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren't welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
  1. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We'll be fair, but firm.
  1. Remember The Purpose: This community exists as a pressure valveβ€”a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics.

Thanks!

Also @MrKaplan@lemmy.world @lwadmin@lemmy.world @ruud@lemmy.world

I have edited this post with a proposed set of rules that I would mod by for your review

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'll make sure this gets looked at this weekend if it's not picked up by then

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Thank you for the consideration!

[–] stopdropandprole@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

agreed. extremely valid points being made. a community purpose should be largely a decision of the community at large, based on participation and engagement. it's clear there is a substantially higher degree of rich conversations happening on so called meme posts than in "ideological conservative" posts which simply parrot right wing media headlines (and offer very little to discuss or engage ideas).

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

thanks, it has been 5 days already and there is still no moderator designated for this community ... I will simply ask another administrator to step in ...

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I support this change as well. You have my vote.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I'm the technical death metal album Skullgrid and I approve this message.

[–] kersploosh@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Regarding !conservative@lemmy.world, let's give it a shot. Right now Lemmy has three prominent conservative communities, none of them have been great, and all three are unmoderated at the moment. We might as well try something new. You are now the mod of the community. Best of luck!

I gave you !fastfood@lemmy.world, too. It definitely looks like it was created by a spam bot.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Awesome news! Thank you, I'll do my best to keep things in order and humorous 🫑

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Hi cm0002,
did you see this comment from:

from 6 days ago,
at https://lemmy.world/comment/15214408

text of comment

(...) The mods at !conservative@sh.itjust.works also look like they have left Lemmy.

If anyone seriously feels like moderating a conservative community (without burning it to the ground for teh lulz) there are plenty of job openings.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Lmao not even the conservatives want to mod the conservative comms πŸ˜‚

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

@cm0002@lemmy.world for ~~President~~ mod!

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

i have also thrown my hat near the ring https://lemmy.world/post/26104566

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i second this motion.
also, to @remon@ani.social
i see your position and i suggest you also moderate that community. Otherwise, just let others do it and react later if necessary.

[–] remon@ani.social 4 points 10 months ago

i see your position and i suggest you also moderate that community

Oh, I really don't want to, sorry.

[–] FabioTheNewOrder@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Please count my vote supporting @cm0002@lemmy.world in his or her application as a mod of this instance

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I still think conservatives deserve a place on Lemmy and in Lemmy.world where incivility and misinformation can be properly moderated.

The pervious mods of the conservative communities have proven they can’t be fair and unbiased.

If you look at their hilariouschaos community you can see they are still heavy-handed and thin-skinned more apt to moderate based on feelings than fact.

I’m still volunteering to run this and/or lemm.ee’s community as a proper conservative community.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I see your point, but last I saw there were (excluding .worlds one) 2 "proper" conservative comms and 2 instances (comms on .ee, SJW and for instances HilariousChaos and iirc reddthat) and those are just what showed up from a quick search which is kinda unreliable sometimes so there are likely more

The way I envisioned it was that eventually would try to reign in one of the others and this one would just be the parody meme comm focused on conservatives (globally too! Conservative ideals aren't just confined to the US) with !politicalmemes@lemmy.world serving as a more generalist political meme comm and .ee/SJWs versions serving as the "proper/ serious" comms (should reasonable conservative talking point be found)

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

.world c/conservative is unmodded now too! Post all the things they hate!

OPs post history makes it very clear he doesn't actually want to mod that community in good faith.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have not posted any misinformation, I have pledged to clear up known misinformation spreader links such as Breitbart

[–] remon@ani.social -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't say you did. But you spend the entire morning spamming the community with memes intended to troll the members, exploiting the fact that it was unmodded and breaking rule 6. That's not behaviour becoming of a mod anywhere and certainly not in a community which you ideologically oppose.

But hey, not my decision, just providing some background info.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I see your point, however, in my view it has been abandoned with the only serious posters posting mostly misinformation and is open to be remade in "a new image". In fact, it seems the only time "good" source links were posted (i.e. AP news) was after it went modless (for the most part)

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 10 months ago

Obviously not. There is no such thing as a conservative that acts in good faith in the first place.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'd rather that community be shutdown and locked then turned into a meme community antagonizing the group it's named for.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

locked then turned into a meme community antagonizing the group it's named for.

I get what you're saying, but this specific group already does this to scale. Truth Social is an entire major SM company that, while not explicitly stated, serves to "own the libs*

Even on the Fediverse there are whole Lemmy/mastodon instances dedicated to "owning the libs", even this very community has allowed meme/mockery posts to "own the libs"

Why are we not allowed to have a comm that does the same as long as it's kept reasonable (i.e. no targeted attacks of a specific user)?

"Taking the high road" has utterly failed with this group as they have demonstrated time and time again from nationwide down to hyper localized communities, that they will take advantage of that.

[–] dukethorion@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or, you could just block it and move on with life like an adult.
