It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

Indeed, the world is far too complicated a place to be reduced to just one or two dimensions.

I'm somewhat fond of the "8 Values" test, which reduces the world to four dimensions. Still way oversimplified, but at that point people are far more likely to compare themselves and see "we may differ on this axis but we actually agree on this other axis," which is very helpful for discourse.
