Since Trump, I’m finding the Lemmy.world experience to be increasingly akin to an echo chamber and it’s quite frankly starting to bore me. (Inb4, I’m a left winger and I don’t like Trump, but I’m much more interested in a good spirited debate or novel points of view than I am in Orange man bad Nazi circle jerks)

If I wanted the same repetitive comments to be upvoted and any different opinion at all to be downvoted and even blocked/banned, I’d have just stayed on Reddit.

Are there any instances where different, opposing and novel points of view are celebrated and debated rather than simply derided and downvoted?

    Lmao, I think considering me a “juggernaut” is very funny, I’m just a dude online that happens to take Marxism seriously. Db0 has a bigger claim to that mantle considering they do a ton of good work on the Piracy and FOSS front, which I respect a good deal, even if their theoretical analysis and knowledge of Marxism is severely lacking.

      Nah bro you definitely also should give yourself some props. You’re probably the most ardent Marxist on the fediverse. Even though your contributions may not have reached the heights of db0’s you’re still quite influential in your sphere iykwim.

      You’re the father of fediverse Marxism while db0 is the father of fediverse Anarchism.

        I seriously disagree, there are many better than me over on Lemmygrad and Hexbear. I just spend more time on federated instances.
