    I did notice there are no conservative subs and the one labeled as such is clearly not. You’re right about the communist and anarchists too.

    • I think that one originally was started for conservatives, but then it got abandoned and someone asked the admins if they could have it to make it a satire sub. Also, your instance does block a fair bit of comms, including ones that are for right-wing (like communities with taglines or website names about being racist and misgendering people) or tankies.

        conservative communities/subs die very fast if they cant crosspost, or troll on other lemmy threads or instances. because to survive as a rigid echo chamber they need the left to argue with.

        • Probably none that aren’t like someone’s personal self-hosted server intended for only them. I doubt I’d want to join such either. And any that don’t probably get blocked by other comms anyways, so it wouldn’t really matter.

      They exist on Lemmy, though your home instance may be blocking them or their home instances, or you just may not have seen them. lemmy.world has a fair few instances on their block list. I’ve had to block a few of the more egregious MAGA communities myself.

      Remember, Lemmy (as a network) is censorship resistant, not censorship free.
