Thank you for the explanation, makes sense!

Wouldn’t it be expected to have pro Trump (or as you say, anti Democrat) articles posted to a community explicitly created for discussion of conservative issues?

Zero hedge is an outlet known for right leaning economic policy, I don’t place much trust in their content, but sometimes it’s an interesting data point.

I’m not a Trump (or Republican) voter, but in the few times I clicked on a link posted in c/conservative I didn’t see any actual conservative or right leaning comments. Just a deluge of down votes and negative commentary attempting to dunk on a seemingly missing conservative adversary.

In fact, and I’m not exaggerating here, I never see any comments right of center in my feed, in any community on Lemmy (I view through the lens of LW).

Maybe I have stuff blocked so I don’t see right leaning user’s content?

I don’t get it, maybe there’s more history of the c/conservative mods power tripping?

Only knowing what I’ve read in this post, mods doing nothing seems to me to be the opposite of power tripping?

In most areas of the US that take BBQ seriously, grilling != BBQ.

Grilling means direct heat, BBQ in those areas refers to indirect heat, usually with some smoke component.
