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?

thank you for providing an example of dialogue that's detached from reality

so you are not a vanguardist?

or am I wrong about vanguardism being bad?

please elaborate

It's detached from reality because you're just randomly chucking in some political terms you learned on reddit under an unrelated comment thinking it's some kind of slam-dunk.

no, I know what a vanguard party is and that I don't support it, now we're arguing about why I don't support it
