Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a strength or a weakness of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.)

It’s a weakness in the sense that there are times this place turns into a straight-up echo chamber…

But when there is actual debate going on, it tends to be a lot more civil than on other sites (most of the time)

Yeah hasn’t been helpful for getting a sense for the minds of the masses but generally a lot more grounded than reddit

Also though echo chambers are bad most of the time for most people, occasionally they help in challenging our own beliefs but only when engaged critically.
