I think it’s moderation. If you have a differing opinion from the mainstream, you’ll get banned from the current community and any other community that mod is moderating. It’s absolutely insane.
That quite obviously leads to a chilling effect where people aren’t willing to discuss their political stance, unless of course it’s the one mods have.
I like piefed and Lemmy, but this is by far the worst place for any political discussion
That has not been my experience. There are a number of times I’ve had fundamental differences with the zeitgeist and I’ve been largely down voted before, but never banned. I don’t think I’ve ever even had a comment removed, and some of them have been pretty borderline.
Maybe it’s due to other issues besides your opinion? Idk. Hope you find communities that fit you.

on lemmy communities I just got told I’m a troll. or to cite my sources. and if I cite them, then I’m a troll.
It couldn’t possible be there are legit points of view and opinions that are different than the predominant one…
