Idk man some people myself included like discussing and/or arguing something. A lot of people argue impolitely or misrepresent points, but a huge portion of lemmy users have autism or other neurodivergence, so sometimes they’re not good at picking up nuance or what the other person actually meant. Also, most people in general are tribal so I think what you’re asking for might be impossible on an unrestricted platform.
I have had tons of actually good discussions on lemmy, I can link you some if you want, but it sounds like you’re seeing people say “trump just broke 5 court orders and fired all the judges who disagreed with him, then illegaly sent the national guard to Oregon. This is fascism” and saying “you can’t call everyone you don’t like a fascist!!” Those at least fascist-leaning actions. Do I think it’s actual fascism? No. But all of those actions are the dictionary definition of fascism, so if someone calls someone taking many fascist actions in succession a fascist… idk maybe hyperbole but not that extreme. It’s like calling Bernie sanders a socialist. It’s like well not really but I know what you mean.
