I used to moderate REGULAR SFW spaces on both Reddit and Discord and let me tell you, the stuff people post is insane. They post straight out terrorist and cartel executions like it is nothing… and that is ignoring the ones who post rapes, tortures, murders, etc. I can only imagine how bad NSFW spaces are. If you do not have an iron-stomach, I would never recommend moderating spaces with millions of people on it.

I am not YET permanently banned on Reddit, even though I have been temporarily banned a few times. I am moving away to PieFed though… but I find it difficult to get engagement without the ability to have crossposts link back to the main post. I am just sick of Reddit and their behaviour. They arbitrarily ban people and then refuse to ban literal terrorists and people who keeps going on mass-shootings were radicalised on Reddit, which got them investigated by the Department of Justice BOTH back during the Biden-era and the current Trump-era. I may often not agree with the Threadiverse politically and get into my fair share of debates (I have an older account that I cannot find on Lemmy that I made in 2023- but whatever since I like PieFed more), but Reddit is just THAT BAD where they somehow make both the left and right investigate them. Bruh. They are just dogwater, which is an insult to dogwater. 😭

The GOP has not been conservative for a long time.

Normality is subjective. Normativity is often used as an excuse for hatred. I do not like to use the word normal.

As for points two and three, okay. Fair enough. You make a valid point about who it could attract. I meant no malintent. It was simply a miscommunication. What do you suggest I change it to?

Accidental double post.

I fell to sleep bro. I posted this at night.

1. No. Nobody is stuck in the traditions they were born into. And mixed couples likely have different traditions and that is fine. The child would have something called culturalgenesis. The combination of both the ways of their parents into a different way. In group homes or foster care, it is up to you to choose what you want to do. And of course we should have the freedom to modify our traditions. Slavery and Nazism were once ‘traditions’ and those were some of the worst evils known to man. Sometimes tradition needs to change. As for traditions one may no longer find valuable, it is useful to separate the reason for a tradition from the actual practice itself. You can apply the reason for it to many different things, even if you abandon the actual practice because you no longer believe in it. It is your perogative to change your mind or dislike something.
2. Traditions need to be adapted to the modern times. The world has changed. We cannot be as we were in the past. It is about keeping the reason for the tradition intact and basing things on that, not neccessarily about an exact practice.

Much obliged.

Because when you combine the principle of decentralisation with some things, people may advocate for stuff they would never otherwise advocate for.

1. Of course! Conservatism is usually a way of life, but there is ideological conservatism too that varies quite a lot.
2. It is a bit more complicated. It means to conserve the ways that your peoples historically had, not a specific universal way.
3. Of course. Hate is never welcome.

Nazis are banned in this community as are any other extremists. See you in a week!

Welcome aboard and thank you!

It is good to have you! Everybody is welcome here. Welcome aboard!

1. Yeah. They do. And that is a good thing. Extremism should be banned no matter what it is and hosting on an instance that blocks these things means I chose the correct instance. This community will not be associated with them anyways.
2. Thank you for the information. I will put this to good use of what sources not to use when citing information. I largely use one leftist source, one centrist source, and one rightist source to avoid blindspots. Authenticity and accuracy is ultimately what matters, not an ideological spin.
3. I respect that. Still, really, thank you.

Edited because I originally completely messed up my wording.

To be frank, I would rather have no posts than make the world or the Fediverse a worse place. And I quite like the Fediverse… it is one of the best social media networks ever created! I want to improve upon it to the best of my ability. Furthermore, I will enforce basic decency and respect.

Edited to make our standards clearer.

I may take you up on that if moderation ever gets too difficult for me to handle alone. Much obliged for the offer!

Edited to add I may take you up on the offer.

I respect your opinion. Have a blessed rest of your day, evening, or night. Just note, we are not Fascists. Fascism is banned in this community as that is extremist.

Edited to add the note.

I respect your opinion. Have a blessed rest of your day, evening, or night!

No. I am a conservationalist AND a conservative. Conservationalism can be a part of conservatism, which means to conserve. The principle is simple: We cannot use the land if we destroy the land and He commanded us to shepherd His world, not destroy it.

Edited because I said conservationalism twice… lol.

1. Yes. The Earth should not be ruined.
2. I agree justice needs to be preserved, but I mean the principle of justice. Not the current justice system. Fair and speedy trials with the assumption of innocence until proven guilty.
3. How? Tradition does not mean no gay marriage or women in the kitchen. That is backwards thinking and throughout history, many cultures had different traditions. Mine did not treat women like that, so…
4. I mean, it is if you look at figures like Theodore Roosevelt. He was big on antitrust and conservationalism!
5. Slavery and Nazism were some of the most evil things in the world and those were kept in the name of ‘tradition’. Some things need to change. It is good those are gone.
6. Kinda is if you follow the orders of Him and shepherd His world. He never said to destroy it… He actually said the opposite.

Edited to add 6.
