Hey guys one of the things I miss about reddit is communities like r/Conservative or r/conspiracy, not because I agree with really anything they say there, but because it's a challenge for me.

It's really easy to say "no you're dumb and wrong", but I like going down rabbit holes so I will take the bat shit insane stuff they say and find actual sources to refute them. I know it won't actually change any minds but it's fun for me.

I know theres @conservative@lemm.ee but that is basically just non-conservatives making fun of conservatives. And I have not been able to find any good conspiracy theory communities on Lemmy at all.

Any advice?

Ha, good luck. They don't care about facts. There's some 2 dozen accounts run by maybe 2 or 3 people tops and they're not really accepting outside input.

Yeah I'm aware, it's more of an exercise in research for me. They send me down some crazy rabbit holes and it's just super interesting a lot of the time.

The only thing I find them useful for is testing my patience.
