the GOPAmerica and Christianity are deeply intertwined to the point of inseparability.
FTFY
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Actual conservative here. To me it mostly means a defense of the essential culture and values of Christendom, AKA Western civilization.
I have had no interaction with anyone from Hexbear. Personally do not support Russia or the CCP, But I also stand against defederation, regardless of their stances on any topic. It doesn't make someone a "inflammatory troll" just because they hold different opinions than you. Even if there really are inflammatory trolls coming from that server, it should be enough to block them if you personally dislike them. In general, it's healthy to expose ourselves to a wide diversity of opinions, and to respectfully discuss topics with people who disagree with us.

Well okay then. I'm going to delete this personal attack on me now. Consider yourself warned.
Wow. Calm down. I read the Bible (which starts with a capital B, btw) every day. Do you care to address any of the points I made?
I suppose the true libertarian position would be to say "all magazines must be open to all content." But I am not a libertarian, and this is not a libertarian magazine.
Like any magazine other than m/random, this one has a topic. And that topic is conservative perspectives. You have the rest of the Fediverse to discuss anything else.
Within the realm of conservative perspectives, everyone is free here to speak openly.
You sure don't sound like much of a conservative.
- This magazine has a clear Mission Statement, and clear rules indicating that it must be followed. Those who break the rules get banned.
- The conservative position is, generally speaking, that climate is in God's hands, and that climate alarmism is a hoax. All scientists who advocate for alarmism are funded by the government, and are not acting as scientists when they advocate for the government to regulate business in the name of impending doom. Chicken Little is not at home here.
- What is this about racism? The conservative position is, generally speaking, that skin color doesn't matter whatsoever, and merit does. This has been the Republican position since the birth of the party. Democrats are the ones who are, and always have been, obsessed with melanin levels. What makes you think that I "love racism"? That accusation sure does appear to be libel.
- DeSantis is probably our best hope of getting elected. What exactly don't you like about him?
Overall, this is a strange post that seems to be written by a rabid leftist. I'll leave it up long enough to give you a chance to defend yourself. For a true conservative, you sure don't seem to act like one.
That's a fair criticism, and I gratefully accept it. But the user who posted it was, as far as I gathered, not a conservative. This magazine is meant to be a place for conservatives. Please see the Mission Statement. This is not a place for leftists, who outnumber us 1000 : 1 in the Fediverse, to discuss or debate. A political debate magazine would be more appropriate for that. If you'd like to present a conservative critique of this article, the petition it's written about, or that particular sponsorship alleged from this leftist source, you're freely welcome to do so.

I did a double-take at the news source, thinking this has to be a Babylon Bee article. But no, NASCAR really has gone fully woke. Like Bud Light, they apparently hate their own market.
And to think that guys drinking Bud Light while watching NASCAR once sounded like a good time for normal conservatives. It was not all that long ago.

Nice presentation, but the time capsule looks like a bad disappointment.
The U.S. Military Academy will open and unveil the contents of a nearly 200-year-old time capsule during a ceremony on August 28 at 10:30 a.m. EDT (UTC -4).

Downvotes don't federate, so I don't see it. At least they don't yet. But even if they did, I'm used to downvotes. My reputation here on kbin is -2178, which is over 800 closer to 0 than it used to be. Whee! That's just for expressing Christian conservative perspectives. Not exactly popular in the Fediverse, or at least not on kbin.
Anyway, thank you for understanding.
My answer was generalized because I do not care to get into the specifics. I'm sorry, I know that seems dismissive. But I wasn't kidding when I said "book-length". You're proposing an extremely long and detailed discussion. Maybe someone else will bite, but it won't be me. Not today. I stand behind my generalization fwiw, and I'll leave it at that.
You've got your parties backward, but thank you.
Funny, that image link is 404 Not Found.
I'd love to see an option made available for magazines saying, "Voters must be members", and perhaps "Hide content from /all".
Forget Trump for the purpose of this question, because he's divisive, and many conservatives don't fully support him.
The general answer to your question is that Progressivism is designed to destroy the USA by gradually eroding traditional values, and then progressively moving on to erode more. That's the entire point of Progressivism.
I'll spare you the book-length answer that unpacks that idea into a long list of examples.
This is part of a larger discussion on moderator pruning.
I think it'd help to start emailing notifications if they're not checked within a certain period of time.
This magazine aims to loosely replicate reddit's r/Conservative sub.
Kbin has its own m/Conservative magazine, but its moderator has been AWOL. I am therefore starting m/TrueConservative with the hope that it can thrive at least a little. For background see this post.
For those unfamiliar with the aforementioned subreddit, leftist agitators are unwelcome here. They have the rest of the Fediverse to freely express their hatred towards right-minded conservatives.
For true conservatives, fiscal and/or social, welcome. Please contribute some content.

He's short and fat, but he's not supposed to be that short and fat. The image's x-y ratio was altered.
The current default "Homepage" value is "All". That makes sense for users with zero subscribed magazines, so they see something.
But for users with one or more subscribed magazines, the default value for "Homepage" needs to be "Subscriptions".
That's partially just because subscriptions mean little if the default frontpage ignores them. But there's a more important reason than that.
The current situation is that posts in m/Conservative are heavily downvoted, and barely upvoted. (Whatever your politics may be, consider if this was happening to you.) As more ex-redditors join, this problem is likely to worsen.
Eventually moderators need better controls, to say things like "Only members can vote", etc.
But for now, a very easy fix is to change the default value of "Homepage" to be "Subscriptions". Of course, "All" should still be a selectable option for those who prefer it.
