Which instances have the most diverse points of view? (lemmy.world)

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?

Blahaj takes an openly anti-Marxist stance, at minimum.

don't really think so, I've seen pretty much any form of leftists over there, tho they will disagree with you regarding genocide acusations in china

Usually blahaj has liberals and US Empire-friendly Anarchists. There aren't really any Marxists I've seen in any significant numbers, and 196 maintains anti-Marxist rules.
