To be more specific (If this even makes sense) I’m looking for an instance that leans more on the conservative side, but isn’t infested with politics.
I guess I’m looking for an instance that isn’t highly political. Even if it’s a conservative instance, I don’t really want to only see or have a politically dominated feed.
I’ve been on conservative instances way in the past, and that’s always been my issue with them. Obviously more left leaning instances have the same problem.
But I don’t want my lemmy experience to be majority about politics no matter what side it leans.
To everyone downvoting: Stop downvoting well meaning questions because you think anyone using that word must be about taking a side in American politics.
There will always be people resistant to change. They should have a space to share their doubts in a healthy way without falling into the toxic sludge of “Conservativism” (which is often radically revolutionary btw)
And to answer the question: Your best bet is a mainstream instance, and not subscribing to anything related to politics. You won’t escape it completely, and you can’t avoid having your ideas challenged. But you can avoid name-calling and hostility related to election campaigns.
Thank you for being a voice of reason among all the noise.
I downvote because I like the color of the arrow 💙
Kinda surprised nobody has said this: start your own instance. Seriously, thats the power of the fediverse.
You should consider creating your own instance, and only letting in people who share your view after a careful vetting process, and then carefully curate your instance to make sure any users that get through the vetting process comply with your rules.
You’ll also probably want to populate it with content. You should really get started on this now if you want to get it to work.
If you’re looking for something less overtly tankie, any instance other than hexbear or .ml to a lesser extent is probably okay. But I’d recommend just blocking the subs that have too much political stuff. I don’t think there’s a specifically conservative instance, since that isn’t really Lemmy’s demographic.
why look for a space with a political lean if you don’t wanna see politics? plenty of spaces to talk about other topics
I’d just like to be able to talk about everyday stuff without someone complaining about capitalism.
And I’d just like to do everyday stuff without Capitalism ruining it!
What do you consider “politics”? Trying to reject people’s way of life and reduce their agency under the guise of “politics” is a common dogwhistle.
The problem with “conservatives” is that they don’t really stand for anything. So they have to go into politics and culture war nonsense.
You’re not really going to find anything that’s conservative yet isn’t political because modern conservatism is fundamentally hollow by design.
You formed that opinion by talking to conservatives?
“good”ness and “conservative” don’t coexist
Conservatives: “Don’t talk about politics, I’m an independent”
Also conservatives: Brandon is censoring me! Jan 6 was peaceful!
Good luck finding a “conservative” instance that’s not filled with violent rhetoric, hate and bad actors. If that’s what you’re looking for, just use X/Gab/Truth like all the other fascists.
