Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?locked
I'm a conservative. I don't mind the liberal stuff here. It's good to learn the other side, but I don't want a liberal echo chamber. I'd like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "I want more lies, ignorance and hate sprinkled in"?
"More politically balanced" lol
So anyone who doesn't subscribe to everything you believe in or agree with are liars, ignorant, and hateful? Discussions and debate can be healthy.
Ever been on a conservative subreddit? No matter how open minded you are, you can't overlook how they don't even care to spread misinformation.
The exact same thing can be said for liberal communities. It becomes a hivemind where dissenting opinions are not allowed.
Take the Hunter Biden laptop story for instance. So many websites and communities outright banned it from being discussed or posted because they didn't like the optics of it. Facebook banned it, the top subs on reddit banned it.
Only very recently has CNN decided to treat it as news, after lying about it constantly on air for months saying it was fake. That's censorship of information. The left regularly spread misinformation like "the laptop story is a Russian hoax".
Both sides do this.
Yeah. I have. Echo chambers. Hated them.
But the OP seems to be open-minded based on this post. If he is (or at least tries to be), then I don't see a reason why we should just criticize his politics without just cause. If he eventually proves to be a troll or breaks rules then maybe the admins can ban him.
It's hard to generalize. There are assholes from all political spectrums, even though there may be more in others.
Edit: if I'm not mistaken, I think it was Voat I checked out last? I really can't remember but this isn't the first time I tried leaving reddit. This is the most successful attempt yet, though. I also inadvertently joined a Q group/channel on Telegram. Lmao.
Yes, and I find them indistinguishable from liberal subreddits. The echo chambers are pretty easy to find..
I mean there's no reason in debating a liar, it's lose lose.
