Why did Beehaw defederate from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works for poor moderation and not lemm.ee and discuss.online? (lemmyverse.link)

Seriously why? Discuss.online has horrible moderation and open-signups, and Lemm.ee isn't very much better. If lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works were completely nuked to avoid the moderation headache or risks from two large open servers, why aren't lemm.ee and discuss.online banned as well?

It's entirely possible to be conservative on some issues and still respect all humans.

Is it really? Being "socially conservative" means you're just a bigot against women and/or minorities. Being "economically conservative" means you're just a bigot against the poor.

Idk, what would be an example of a conservative position that does respect all humans?

Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems. https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs/

That said, it's not a Broad stroke generalization that all Conservatives are alike, just as not all Liberals are alike. Don't paint the individual with the group, 100%.

In the US I'd completely agree, in that it's impossible to vote for conservative folks who are not openly and actively bigoted against someone and attempting to strip away other's rights. But it's possible to not live in the US where some conservative platforms are different. It's also possible to hold conservative viewpoints on issues which are not inherently bigoted (wishing for less government, or for more individual freedom) and not vote for conservative politicians who are bigoted. I think there's some room for nuance, and there's room for a healthy amount of diversity for individuals who hold different beliefs on some issues but are still inherently humanistic.
