A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".

This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

Rules:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. 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.

  3. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.

  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.

  2. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.

A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.

  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.

For more general political memes please see !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

  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.

  2. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

  3. For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.

And above all, HAVE FUN!

You post a wide range of other peoples content and links from other places.

Um, dude, I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Lemmy and Reddit are. They are a category of social media called "Link Aggregators", posting links to stuff is what you're supposed to do. News, articles, projects, blog posts, GitHub repos, random one off websites, YT/PT videos etc doesn't matter who made it. What matters is you think it's cool or at least think others will find it cool and you post it. That's it.

You're overthinking it way too much

"Republicans bad, gib upvotes now plzzzz" garbage.

Again, that's just been the last week or so and specific to !conservative@lemmy.world because that's what it's trending towards as a comm.

Who gives a shit about upvotes dude. Getting lots of fake Internet points isn't gonna get you any closer to being loved by your parents.

1, it's not currency, but it's not entirely useless. It's good for some metrics to judge how well something you post is being received. Not the best metric, but...it's the one we got lmao. And 2, there it is again the "judgy aggression"

Some of my highest upvoted posts had nothing to do with politics at all and were handmade

As far as reposting in general, I'll leave you with this:

In one of your comments you stated "I know everything on the internet isn't just for me", but it doesn't seem like you're taking that to heart
