So, I haven’t been on Lemmy for very long, but one thing seems to be true here, just like on Reddit: People don’t understand nuance and are only drawn to extremes. There’s sooo much going on between facism and unchecked capitalism and communism, but so many people here are just willfully ignoring that, apparently 🙄
Lemmy was made by Marxists, and the FOSS community itself has lots of Marxists and Anarchists.
It isn’t that people here are willfully ignoring nuance, people have legitimate views that are considered extreme outside Lemmy, because Lemmy’s structure brings them here instead of Reddit.

yes, lengthy, nuanced, disputations, are just what the four panel comics, on the meme forum, needs.
