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

lemmyverse.link /beehaw.org/post/17199836

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?

  • lemm.ee has !conservative@lemm.ee a community which is allowed to thrive by the main admin of this server. Along with all their users. Does this really seem like a good idea guys?

    • The presence of a conservative space is not enough to warrant defederation in my opinion. We don't want to be an echo chamber. It's entirely possible to be conservative on some issues and still respect all humans. I would also argue that voting conservative in the US currently would almost certainly invalidate ones respect for self autonomy but that's a more nuanced discussion and is very US centric

  • Whilst we're discussing instances to defederate from, I'd really love to see lemmynsfw defederated from, like a lot of porn things there's an underlying current of misogyny (and other bad stuff) coming from it and it bothers me and since this instance cannot upgrade I keep having to play whack-a-mole with each new community I come across in the All tab since I can't just block the entire instance (yet).

    Edit: Plus for a 'nice' community, it doesn't make much sense to keep such an instance around ioo. It would be different if there was an underlying current of respect for the subjects there but that doesn't seem to be the case, just seems to be a mix and match for whatever people's tastes are and since we live in a patriarchal society a lot of it is going to be bad.
