A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

I've seen so much confusion between the two, at first I thought it was trolls, but it's so consistent that I've begun to wonder if they actually don't understand.

I've been a GNU/Linux user for decades. I know RMS but I don't think he is or ever was a communist. He isn't against capitalism and is fine with people making money of free software. He stepped out of FOSS and I haven't followed what's currently going on though. Most tech I find interesting is decentralized, private and open source. You might be right that on the closed software side they are more right wing.

Lemmy is nice. Software itself doesn't have a political view and it doesn't seem to care who is using it ๐Ÿ˜Š
