Basically I’m looking for a heterodox political lemmy community where moderate opinions are valued and the level of discourse is pretty good. Where people are there to talk and there’s not as much venting.

      Yep. It’s quite frustrating, because I want to support the concept of the community and what it supports tech-wise, but frequently I find myself clicking off the site because I’ve seen something political so eye-rollingly crazy I don’t feel like sticking around.

      I consider myself pretty far left and I find a lot of people here both insufferable and unable to hold a discussion without insults. And that’s coming from people to the left of me.

      I’m a mod on Politics and World News. Every day it’s one slapfight or shit storm or another.

      Then I just retreat to Comic Books and relax. :)
