Yeah it absolutely would benefit from a wider range of opinions. That's why a large portion of my comments are "against the grain", I don't see the value of reinforcing prevailing opinions in an echo chamber. I hope that as Lemmy grows we will see more diverse opinions, but what I think is more likely is that the hard-core leftist part of Lemmy will sort of secede and defederate so they can preserve their echo chamber while the rest of lemmy gets taken over by "normies"
