Hey guys one of the things I miss about reddit is communities like r/Conservative or r/conspiracy, not because I agree with really anything they say there, but because it’s a challenge for me.
It’s really easy to say “no you’re dumb and wrong”, but I like going down rabbit holes so I will take the bat shit insane stuff they say and find actual sources to refute them. I know it won’t actually change any minds but it’s fun for me.
I know theres @conservative@lemm.ee but that is basically just non-conservatives making fun of conservatives. And I have not been able to find any good conspiracy theory communities on Lemmy at all.
Any advice?
Conservative politics hasn’t meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.
Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn’t entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.
you could be right; I’m not great with keeping up with the right terminology. I mentioned in another reply that what I’m really after is finding the quieter “middle 80%”; the problem is that the nutters on either end get all the media attention and ratchet up the rhetoric because they’ll do anything to keep the attention.
