The two week old article is about a recent event that occurred within the last month, here is a section of the article:

Published 12:05 PM EDT, July 14, 2023

A Capitol riot suspect who had guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested near former President Barack Obama’s Washington home has been indicted on federal firearms charges, authorities said Friday.

If posting an article that is older than two weeks is considered “old content” deserving of being removed, then the rules on the sidebar should represent that. I’m not sure which mod removed it so I’m making this a general post instead of talking to the mod that removed it directly.

    The rules don’t prohibit non conservatives. The mods here have explicitly said non conservatives are permitted.

    Firstly, I’m not the mod that removed your post.

    Secondly, yes, non-conservatives are welcome but if your entire purpose here is to stir the pot then we will have to evaluate each blatantly non-conservative user on a case-by-case basis.

    Non-conservatives ARE welcome in the spirit of encouraging open and honest discourse, something that is hard to find formerly on Reddit, and now on Lemmy. Non-conservatives will not be welcome if they’re rage-baiting, trolling, or pot-stirring.

    Furthermore, judging from the types of things that get reported on here, there is a site-wide issue where non-conservative users come here and report and downvote every post. I do not understand why someone that is not conservative would venture into a conservative community and get mad at the posts there, but as long as the posts and comments are in line with general conservative talking points or conservatism in general, it will always be allowed here. This is not to be confused with very blatant bigotry whether that be racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. which is NOT allowed. That said, the people submitting reports here seem to confuse “I disagree with this” with “this is bigotry”.
