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.

    I would love such a thing, but you will only find echo chambers and snark.

    One of the great tragedies of our time that people can’t have dissenting views and still be civil.

        Nah I think dissenting is pretty clear. If two people disagree then they have dissenting views.

          Ok but theres a huge difference between a disagreement on precise tax brackets and a disagreement on racial superiority. Some opinions should be met with hostility

    From what I’ve seen so far, lemmy is pretty radical left. I doubt you’ll find folks saying anything good about moderate opinions.

      Yeah. Asking for moderate political discussion on Lemmy is like going to the model train expo and asking where the spot for G.I. Joe’s is. It’s a pretty unapologetically hard left site
