Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? - Lemmy.world

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?

Define “conservative”

What I’d like it to mean - the belief that government intervention often hurts the people that it’s meant to help, so should only be used in limited circumstances and be carefully designed.

It seems to mean white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia instead.

Even the first part of your comment is some fairy tale rich people tell you so they can make more profit.

I think they’re often wrong, but I’ve known a lot of people who aren’t rich and believe it in good faith.

Of course they believe it. Rich people get idolized like crazy and rich people are constantly saying that programs that benefit the average citizen are bad and are too expensive for the tax payers.
