I haven't been banned from anywhere under any username I've used. I just explained why I change usernames ever few months.. Where did I ever say or show that I've been banned?!

Tho I DO expect to get banned a result of this conversation thread! lol

Nope. I'll allow breitbart posts though. and you gotta promise not to remove posts unless they are literally saying nazi stuff. You can't just go, "wait, this isn't an anti-elon news article, so it's A NAZI POST!" and crazy shit like that.

I say we start a community, conservative-leaning (because there are already a shitton of liberal-leaning ones) and see what happens. I am fine having a non-conservative mod, so that we can hopefully overcome the whole "all the mods are nazi's accusations)

Should we start on a new instance or maybe see if we can take over the conservative@lemm.ee instance since it has no mods right now?

Well I am def not pressuring you. If you are fine with .world, stay there.

But to switch, you just go to any other community and sign up. So you would click on https://sh.itjust.works/, click sign up, pick your username. Once they verify your email, boom! You're on a new instance.

And for a summary of all the different instances you can join (think of them like servers, each with it's own flavor): https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Do you think the majority of Lemmy users would like conservative communties on Lemmy?

How about this: You create a new user name. Then you and I will create a new Conservative community on Lemmy and be co-mods. After a month, tell me what you think about the general attitude Lemmy has about people who start conservative communities.

You'll be called a Nazi even if you don't post or comment on a single post. lmao

DM me, and let's do it. It'll be fun!

And we need some more conservative points of view on lemmy anyway, right?

I haven't trolled and I haven't evaded any bans.

Lots of people have mulitple usernames on Lemmy. For me, it's to protect my privacy and information from being all in one place. As are many others on here.

In fact, in the privacy communities, they recommend purging your username and creating a new one every few months. And I agree with that. And I do. And I will continue to do so.

Feel freel to check out the privacy communities and ask their thoughts on that subject.

Did you read the whole thread? You only seen one person saying that? Come on, now...

[–] barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf -5 points 4 days ago (12 children)

Conservative communities on multiple instances are some of the most downvoted places in all of Lemmy

Because Lemmy is mostly democrat/lib. Not because all information posted by conservatives is bad. You all use the terms "nazi" and "facist" way too much. And many just use it as a base insult, without any other meaning.

Of course not. Nor which other accounts you use.

Which is why I explained it to you. Lots of people on Lemmy have more than one account. So you can't really judge based on an age of a user account unless they say they are new.

I've been on lemmy for a little over a year.

Which also talks about the reason all the mods were removed from this community today. Here is just one of the comments saying that, but there are others:
