I'm a conservative. I don't mind the liberal stuff here. It's good to learn the other side, but I don't want a liberal echo chamber. I'd like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

There's a difference between being exposed to a range of views and being exposed to hatred.

    And that’s were moderation (the act of moderation) comes in as a first step rather than instant defederation.

    r/conservative mods handed out bans for anyone even asking a legit question. Conservative arguments aren't fact based, so any good faith argument is seen as an attack and the only defense is to reject it outright. I don't know how good moderation can be applied to that.
