Yeah understandable, there are a lot of radicalized useful idiots on here. I’ve come close to giving up on Lemmy because it’s an extremist echo chamber sometimes. People who clearly don’t have much experience in life and a limited understanding of sociopolitical dynamics will advocate violence to get what they want. People downvote me here simply because I haven’t closed my mind like them.
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. Capital punishment makes sense to me in cases where guilt is clear and rehabilitation very unlikely to succeed.

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.

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.

It is funny, by lemmy standards I am giga Hitler other than being a Democrat ;)
I am more socially left as I am not religious and I believe in a small government but that doesn’t fit into the uterus of a female. I think everyone should share the cost of running the country, not just a few. I think pain makes us stronger and when the plebes get their tax bill, they may question the spending.
I find most liberals lazy and ignorant. Since their parents are just upstairs, they are used to having someone tell them what to do and strive for a nanny state since they can’t control themselves. I prefer the government to stay out of most of our day-to-day lives.
As Ronnie use to say, the scariest words in the world are I am from the government and I am here to help.
