Yea, that was the only place I could reliably have good discussions about political topics. Good meaning people actually debate shit instead of just expecting you to agree with their side and then throwing a tantrum when you don’t and they can’t explain why you’re wrong. The fact that it wasn’t an echo chamber was refreshing. Yea, you have to ignore a lot of right wing morons, but you have to ignore a lot of left wing morons everywhere else so it’s not much different in that regard.

People with different views, memes with very caricatured stereotypes, and sometimes actually good discussions
The only problem it had is that it was too much American, but Lemmy is no different
