    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 @[email protected] 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?

      i'm inclined to believe the average lemmy user is much less likely to fall for those stuff tbh.

            There's probably some, but keep in mind that your instance has to be federated with them and lemmy.world generally defederates a lot of the more extreme instances (plus a few benign but potentially illegal instances, since the admins don't want legal trouble.)

            That said, Lemmy historically is rather extreme "left" (if you can call it that lol) so much so that the .ml of lemmy.ml stands for Marxist-Leninst. That starting point kinda makes the rest of us the conservatives of the community.

            If you want to feel challenged, look into who we defederate from. Hexbear, lemmygrad, beehaw, etc. I'm sure those rabbit holes will be new to you, although heaven help you lol

                  Ha, good luck. They don't care about facts. There's some 2 dozen accounts run by maybe 2 or 3 people tops and they're not really accepting outside input.

                      the tolerant left, right here on display for everyone.

                      I actually (as a left leaning Canadian) seek out conservative/libertarian/right-leaning news sources because I believe it's important to take in a wide variety of information, especially from sources which I might not agree with. There is a lot you can learn from anyone not on the extremes.

                        It makes the rest of us the liberals, certainly. But a lot of the turf battles between .world and .ml tend to be on US political orthodoxy running up against any other country's reported histories. People getting sucked back into the argument over whether the Hungarian Revolt of 1956 was worth defending, for instance, is the baseline for what defines a "Tankie" (evil Khruschevist authoritarian villains) versus "A rational centrist" (not all CIA-backed color revolutions are bad, people!)

                        So it's less a question of right versus left and more a question of nationalism versus internationalism.

                        If you want to feel challenged, look into who we defederate from.

                        One of the benefits of .world is that admins generally don't bother outright banning anyone for their political views, even when they're taken as "extreme". You can head over to these other sites, but don't expect to post very long before you're given the boot.

                        Admittedly, Reddit's political subs were much the same. Easiest thing in the world is to say something on a political sub of any flavor that will get you banned, whether its /r/progressive or /r/libertarian. If that's the kind of sub someone is looking for...

                        But I don't really see them as challenging so much as insular. Structurally closed communities where appealing to the whims of the moderators is more important than any actual ideological tenant.

                          There were some, but as others have said, they aren't popular around here. There was one instance but I think they moved to nostr?

                            Too many overtly emotional blue haired folk in moderating positions there for most sane people to comfortably express themselves, polluting what could be great online spaces... But a little folly has always destroyed a great deal of good. 🤷

                              Not OP, but interested in right-leaning communities that aren't pants-on-head insane, just like I am interested in left-leaning communities with a similar constraint. /r/conservative generally isn't bad (I find they tend to be a LOT more level headed than /r/politics, for example) but things like /r/the_donald or whatever it was called is way too out there for my tastes.

                                  None of the above really; I'd consider those more far-right and not at all interested in. I'm talking about people aligned with ideas like smaller government, government accountability (particularly with respect to spending), the combination of personal responsibility and freedoms, etc.

                                      Maybe I'll find us a conspiracy little e-hole, I miss it too. 🥲

                                        Too many overtly emotional blue haired folk in moderating positions there for most sane people to comfortably express themselves, polluting what could be great online spaces... But a little folly has always destroyed a great deal of good. 🤷

                                        That's funnier than it is ironic and tragic, lol.

                                          Ha, good luck. They don't care about facts. There's some 2 dozen accounts run by maybe 2 or 3 people tops and they're not really accepting outside input.

                                          Yeah I'm aware, it's more of an exercise in research for me. They send me down some crazy rabbit holes and it's just super interesting a lot of the time.
