I've come close to giving up on Lemmy because it's an extremist echo chamber sometimes
It may be an extremist echo chamber, but due to the federated (and non corporate) nature, it's far less heavy handed on censorship, especially since it's even more trivially easy to evade bans. It also doesn't matter if you get nothing but downvotes, with 0.19 removing account karma as a whole. There's also a lot of good non-political content, as major communities from reddit like r/piracy set up shop here. The porn scene is also pretty solid.
A couple examples of conservative ideals I like are emphasis on efficient government, limiting centralized power, ensuring personal rights, and supporting families as an important social structure.
Apologies if I was unclear, I was more curious what kind of posts you'd like to see shared here, since you expressed you don't see a lot of what you like.
For instance, my last post here was an article discussing how the Supreme Court is in a position to overturn chevron, which would massively reduce the power of the administrative state by curtailing the ability for federal agencies to effectively rewrite their own regulations through "interpretation". I would consider this to be a massive conservative victory if it happens.
Blamemeta and wintermute make generally solid posts, with the latter falling more toward a centrist position (basically giga Hitler by lemmy standards), and onlytakesLs leans towards culture topics, but posts overall solid stuff, even if it's not a point of agreement.
