Are there any conservatives here? I’ve never seen a more left biased echo chamber than Lemmy.

You take that back. I’ll never leave the basement.
(I post from a state that for the large part, doesn’t have basements.)
Nope. This place is gated as fuck. You are at the whim of moderators that are one bad day away from mental collapse. As much shit that i see here about reddit, i managed 15 years on reddit without a single ban. Even with their shite mods.
Here you get banned for pointing out obvious bias.

Tankies are pretty conservative, even if they’ll never admit it.

I am sorry to inform you that there isn’t a conservative party in any country on this planet.

It’s because tankie means anything the person who uses the word doesn’t like about leftists.
