How is Yahweh not immoral?

John 8:1-11 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 “No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

this passage is unusual. It isn't unusual for Jesus's merciful character, but isn't Jesus explicitly contradicting Yahweh here?

Okay this is an easy one so I'll address it first. John 7:53–8:11 isn't actually in the Bible, so addressing it or relying on it for any kind of wisdom is in err. This is why we have textual criticism!

I have pointed out that Jesus's and Yahweh's conflicting moralities suggest that they aren't really the same person. You assume that they must be. When god is in a good mood, he massacres people he doesn't like. When god is angry, he massacres...people who annoy him. Jesus preaches forgiveness and non-violence, whereas Yahweh leads brutal military campaigns and commands his followers to show no mercy. How do you reconcile this?

Again, the Christian God is known through Jesus, if He is immoral then prove Jesus was immoral. If you want to go to a more complicated argument surrounding the characterization of God in the Old Testament, then you need to first understand the character of Jesus in the New Testament. The Old Testament is very long and contains a huge amount of information, taking all the passages where God is angry and referring to only those passages is akin to cherry picking. If I'm not allowed to cherry pick from the Bible, then neither are atheists.
