Agreed. The userbase is a bit too homogeneous. Also if you say something remotely positive or try to bring some nuance to topics that have a strong circle jerk value on Lemmy you'll get downvoted into oblivion.
This definitely stifles healthy debate.
Exactly, you have an issue with their specific solution or just don't agree with how extreme they are on a topic You're just assumed to be an "enlightened centrist" and everyone will pile on no matter what.
Even if you reclarify to give an understanding of what you meant they'll either claim you're trying to lie or just ignore what you're saying because they'd prefer to argue with their strawman.
