Basically I'm looking for a heterodox political lemmy community where moderate opinions are valued and the level of discourse is pretty good. Where people are there to talk and there's not as much venting.

I not only haven't seen such a thing on Lemmy - I haven't seen such a thing on the internet as a whole for at least 20 years or so.

Gone are the days when reasonable people could discuss and debate issues. Now it's just shallow, virtue-signaling dogmatists crashing around hurling rhetoric, fallacies, and cant in the general direction of anyone who bears a passing resemblance to their sworn enemies.
