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?

    And that’s were moderation (the act of moderation) comes in as a first step rather than instant defederation.

      r/conservative mods handed out bans for anyone even asking a legit question. Conservative arguments aren’t fact based, so any good faith argument is seen as an attack and the only defense is to reject it outright. I don’t know how good moderation can be applied to that.

        But that doesn’t mean that everyone acts like that. And no one should ban for asking a question wherever they lie on the spectrum.
