More money in the pockets of entry-level workers sounds great, but Rachel Greszler of the conservative Heritage Foundation argues that such workers, and the economy writ large, are hurt more than helped by increases in the minimum wage.
@HunterOfGunners@wintermute_oregon I am confused as to what this means. He’s sort of a troll, but I’m a free speech stan and don’t think he necessarily deserves to be banned.
@HunterOfGunners@wintermute_oregon I mean TBF that’s literally the point of this community, no? To post conservative stories and watch wokebois rage over them?
@HunterOfGunners It’s literally what happens here. Right wingers post right wing articles, left wingers spazz out in the comment section, rinse and repeat.
Rule 2 sums it up well.
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.
So no, the point isn’t to watch anyone rage off them but to have a discussion on the topic.
I help mod this one, and then I have another message board I run as well. It leans mostly liberal but with some conservatives. The main difference is that Lemmy people really don’t want a conversation; they want an echo chamber and for everyone to agree with their ideas.
In my other forum, we have discussions for the most part. Sometimes we get a little silly, but we do have some dialogue on the topics.
You claim here to want discussion, but you’re using your own metrics to define if a post is conservative “enough” and leaving the rest of us to figure it out on our own at risk of ban.
So which is it? Do you want a discussion, where beliefs are challenged, arguments are presented and dissent is inevitable, or do you just want a curated list of posts to reinforce your echo chamber? The two are not compatible.
@wintermute_oregon Maybe saying that the rage cycle is “the point” is a bit extreme, but the leftist members of this community can’t really seem to help it lol

Thank you @realcaseyrollins, genuinely.
We hardly ever get along but this is sweet of you and I truly appreciate it.
He continuously posted articles in violation of r2. It’s a two day ban to discourage violating rule 2
The echo chamber must remain intact after all.

Do you get the feeling that’s actually happening around here?

Then you should either enforce it universally or remove the rule.
There’s a post that’s been up for hours that’s in clear violation. Why is that one ok but mine get removed in minutes?
If it’s a question of bandwidth then get more mods.
If you think something is in violation. Report it and we will look at it. We mainly look at reported content.
