I think political communities in general tend to get quite heated if a debate gets going and because it's unlikely people are going to change their mind it gets personal.

In some ways the left wing ones are worse for this - I have been accused in my time of being too left wing and too right wing, there's a lot of different splinter groups and factions.

Tbh I just avoid politics on Reddit, Lemmy and similar, unless it's just to share or comment on a news story maybe. I don't think it's the right format for reasonable conversation

Thank you for asking this question. I've wanted to do the same, but didn't want to get dogpiled.

I don't even need something strictly conservative, just something not sooooo extremely aligned with Marx and nihilism.

The fediverse is what people make of it.

I think a balance of liberal to conservative discussions can be good for the general consensus. However, it usually ends in a screaming match. Liberals want change. Conservatives don't want change.

The best option for humanity is to have some change and not change things too quickly, but in order to reach that happy medium, we have to talk through it, apply critical thinking, and be able to listen and reflect when we receive new information.

I share your sentiment. Every now and then I see a conversation like this and it points to exploding heads or similar, but that's disappointing. I've actually checked it out and it's just 5-6 basement dwellers posting memes to their own communities without any interaction. That's not political right; that's just a bunch of losers. It's also sad that this is what the fediverse thinks right wing is.

Only the loudest voices tend to rise to the top of unmoderated social media. That doesn't lend itself to being a good forum for moderate discussion. You'll have to look elsewhere
