I am not blaming the rules, I am saying they aren’t breaking them.
As an admin, I don’t want to be an authoritarian. That is a choice that I am making purposefully. I could choose to ban whatever I dislike, but this whole Lemmy thing can’t work if every admin just inserts their political viewpoint into everything.
It is not up to me to decide what makes a good conservative, or democrat, or socialist, or car enthusiast, or whatever else. If someone wants to create a community where only content that praises Cthulhu is allowed, then that is their prerogative. All I care about is that they stick to my instance rules.
Everyone is equally welcome here. If you think that this particular Conservative community is biased or too heavily moderated, then you can always start your own - in fact I encourage you to. You could run a conservative community on HC and moderate it however you want. What I will not do is ban other people for you.

I feel like it’s just repeating at this point. I tried.
