As stated in our sidebar:
Although our initial goal was to provide a new platform for r/PoliticalCompassMemes, we welcome the expansion to various new topics and themes.
which is why we are finally opening this thread.
If you have any suggestions for a community that you would like to run on our instance this is the place to post them. While our Rule 0 (no illegal content) remains our golden policy, there are a couple more guidelines for you to follow.
Community creation guidelines
- Take out your own trash: if you propose the creation of a community you must either moderate it yourself or appoint a willing moderator when you submit your request.
- Don’t burn our bridges: while we value free speech, we also want to maintain a friendly and constructive atmosphere. Please refrain from posting any content that is deliberately hateful, as this could jeopardize our federation with other instances.
Their bread and butter is making fun of identity politics, but they have a more chill vibe about it. All the right wing communities dedicated to that kind of thing tend to be more mean spirited. They’re largely coming from the perspective that leftist politics has been co-opted by lunatics who are more obsessed with race, gender, etc than actual economic issues. So I think they tend to be “nicer” about it since their take is that those are people who should be on their side but are just barking up the wrong tree; whereas I think right wingers make fun of that stuff from a perspective that the people they’re making fun of are a total lost cause.
My goal as mod there will be to keep the conversation as civil as it was on reddit, but not care one way or another about users’ politics.
