other views so get presented and debated (and downvoted), but they are not filtered out and insta-permabanned. It is way more engaging.
this is my favorite quality of the lemmyverse; you're not required to follow the groupthink out of fear of being banned and the plethora of viewpoints guarantees that groupthink isn't as powerful as it is on reddit or twitter.
It's important that the discourse is visible and thoughtfully debated (as possible).
you'll be lucky to get thoughtful debate in this country; our discourse is devolved into looking for a chance to dunk on the other person to enrage them enough to quit. the trick to getting anything out of it is to keep your cool.
