Really? I’ve seen Lemmings are much more competent, way higher debate ability, far less disinformation. Also I’ve seen this 10x so far in a month: “sorry, you’re right”. Almost never saw that on Reddit. And I’ve had to say it many times too.
Then we are having different experiences here because I see a lot of extremely flawed understandings of political philosophy and basic/entry level economics.
There are geniuses on all sides, I feel its just different priorities and perspectives, not to say they are all geniuses. At least here you can discuss the merits of Austrian economics for instance.
Those that find a lot of merit in Austrian economics would be a great example of the type of people Im talking about were they more common here. Im not seeing a lot of them around
Lemmy’s biggest problem is how aggressive and uncompromising the people can be.

I’m not saying there’s a lot, just a lot more than Reddit.
Reddit has several subs for discussing Austrianism last I checked.
For niche topics yes, Reddit is 1000x the size of the fediverse. In terms of smart commenters and debates, not so much.
