MODERATORS
It's the asynchronous nature of Lemmy then that I think will be your biggest barrier to the complex, nuanced conversation you seek.
A person comments knowing it may be hours before it is responded to, if ever. So they write their comment to stand on its own as much as possible.
"A or B?"
"Neither, not enough information to say one is better/worse than the other"
Self-contained comment for a forum style platform.
Lemmy is a forum platform. Are you seeking a platform designed more for ongoing conversation? Like Discord or Matrix, perhaps.
Not that I want you to stop posting here. Just that you seem frustrated with the types of responses you received when I think those responses look like the obvious sort one would get on a platform designed in the way Lemmy is with the question prints you are asking.
You seem to think it's because people don't know how to be vulnerable or open to deep conversation. I think it's because Lemmy is the wrong tool for those sorts of convos.
