The fediverse is what people make of it.

I think a balance of liberal to conservative discussions can be good for the general consensus. However, it usually ends in a screaming match. Liberals want change. Conservatives don't want change.

The best option for humanity is to have some change and not change things too quickly, but in order to reach that happy medium, we have to talk through it, apply critical thinking, and be able to listen and reflect when we receive new information.

I think political communities in general tend to get quite heated if a debate gets going and because it's unlikely people are going to change their mind it gets personal.

In some ways the left wing ones are worse for this - I have been accused in my time of being too left wing and too right wing, there's a lot of different splinter groups and factions.

Tbh I just avoid politics on Reddit, Lemmy and similar, unless it's just to share or comment on a news story maybe. I don't think it's the right format for reasonable conversation

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "I want more lies, ignorance and hate sprinkled in"?

"More politically balanced" lol

I don't think Fediverse should be divided according to political compass. Just start a community on any instance and find your people. I don't think you will face any censorship if the discussion is kept civilized.

I have heard few supposedly right wing instances were defederated, but I don't agree it happened because of their agenda. The true reason was an overall 4-chan like chaos and hatread.

I'm just going to say try making an account on the unilem.org instance, from there you'll be able to access all instances from the fediverse. It's about as politically balanced as they get since they almost never defederate, it doesn't have very many communities though so you'll have to find those on other instances, by the way if a community from another instance doesn't appear in the one that you're in, go to the search bar in the communities tab and type ![community name]@[instance domain] and assuming that you typed it correctly it'll usually sync it and then you can subscribe to it.

Since unilem hasn't defederated any of the big instances you'll very likely have access to all communities on Lemmy.
