tl;dr for lemm.ee:
In short, somebody posted a pro-Elon-Musk-doing-a-nazi-salute Valentine’s Day meme and the mods left it up so people started complaining in other communities and the admins realized “you know, we never see reports from our instance’s most controversial community” because the mods were quick to act leaving everything up. So the original salute poster was banned and all the mods were dethroned as the admins are taking a wait-and-see approach on what to do with the community.
I haven’t found a comment about what happened at .world yet but there are zero mods for their community too.
Power tripping mods getting their comeuppance!
Thank you for the explanation, makes sense!
Wouldn’t it be expected to have pro Trump (or as you say, anti Democrat) articles posted to a community explicitly created for discussion of conservative issues?
Zero hedge is an outlet known for right leaning economic policy, I don’t place much trust in their content, but sometimes it’s an interesting data point.
I’m not a Trump (or Republican) voter, but in the few times I clicked on a link posted in c/conservative I didn’t see any actual conservative or right leaning comments. Just a deluge of down votes and negative commentary attempting to dunk on a seemingly missing conservative adversary.
In fact, and I’m not exaggerating here, I never see any comments right of center in my feed, in any community on Lemmy (I view through the lens of LW).
Maybe I have stuff blocked so I don’t see right leaning user’s content?
