It's not terribly surprising to find a lack of diversity in opinions here. The Fediverse, in general, is a fringe alternative to the big social media platforms. Using it is, in and of itself, an opinionated decision that we all more or less share.
When people use Reddit, TikTok, or similar platforms, they go there to find their subset of culture. That's the benefit of their scale. When you use Lemmy, the platform itself is your subset of culture.
It's very fair, and smart, to be skeptical of a one-sided consensus of opinions without adequate research. You will often see strawmen and a lack of understanding toward groups that disagree with the prevailing thoughts here. Never use only one source, and never trust a social media platform to give you the full picture.
However, you also want to beware of the False Balance and Golden Mean fallacies. Diversity of opinions has no direct correlation with truth. If a topic is worth forming an opinion on, it's worth doing real research on. Reading internet arguments will only reinforce bias.
