I know of no one who actually esposes conservative principles to me. pay as you go, rainy day funds, infrastructure investment, efficient social safety nets, rule of law (constitution and founding principles respected even seperation of church and state), middle of the road (balancing state power [regulations] and private power). This is a us centric view though were our conservative party has seem to have thrown out all conservative principles. I do see plenty of generally left of center moderate liberals (don't get me wrong a lot of ultra left too) although again often presented nowadays like ultra left views. Folks who don't want to see an end to all capitalism but want to limit wealth disparity and the effect of money on politics, have social safety nets like universal healthcare and equitable public education, sensible regulation, progressive taxes, efforts to limit global warming fallout, etc.

There are no moderste Nazis. Get fucked.

Nowadays reasonable is radical. Moderate isn't enough and conservative is poison

real moderate or usian moderate?

Don't look for a specific moderate instance, instead block extremist instances. I'm not positive but I think that also blocks you from seeing posts by users of those instances even when they post to other instances, but I'm not 100% sure

Lemmy’s pretty left leaning, extremely left sometimes. There was a conservative community for a while but it turned until a place to ridicule conservatives.

Maybe just start a new community, I think there are people here but a lot on here refuse to even tolerate the right.

There are lots of us around. You just won't see a ton of the content they post or comment because the tankies and other extremists will downvote and report it to try and get it removed.

It sucks. I once was on a thread about trans issues months ago, that was so wonderfully empathetic and nuanced and graceful... I went back and forth and felt so much was shared and learned. But then it was brigaded by a LGBT instance's users, who reported everything as bigotry and hate speech, and then the mods removed all the posts and all that was left two days later was just a ton of short asinine posts that reduce everything into a binary stance of 'support lgbt always and forever or you are an evil person' nonsense.

Which is to say, moderate speech that considers a plurality of views on an issue, or the real world complexities of an issue, typically doesn't last very long on lemmy, due to the population of extremists who regard it as 'hate speech'. Because they want to reduce every discussion to name-calling and bumper sticker slogans and false binary choices of being 'for/against' things, and a bizarre paranoia about everything being nazi or facist.

I closed it up and made it a private development instance last year, but you basically just described Dubvee.

Far left crazies and far right crazies are removed with equal prejudice, though the far right is much rarer (and often just trolls). Regardless, it's moderated here to a, well, moderate temperature. We also don't federate with the Triad (Hexbear, Grad, and .ml) as well as a few other instances (one of them a big instance that throws an error on a calculator) that are centered around and encourage identity politics (another source of what you're describing in your post).

Even though we're "closed" I still keep the instance running in order to develop the Tesseract UI, and if you want to try out the kind of space that's curated here, I would be willing to approve your application. I've toyed with the idea of re-launching and seeking out another admin or 3, but haven't had the time to put much thought into it.

TL;DR is I've always tried to run Dubvee as "normie friendly" and cut out some of the more, uh, rabid parts of the fediverse, and if you want to try it out, I'd be willing to allow it.
