In prison they call that a suitcase

Your first phrase says op places the Entire lack of diversity on the lack of trolls

No, the person I replied to said that, they were replying to OP.

That’s quite black and white view from your part IMO.

If your answer to “where are the different opinions” is “no trolls,” then you are putting the lack of diversity on trolls. Which is black and white, yes, and why I disagree with it.

Sometimes we have the tankie trolls here on lemmy too

Which is why “no trolls” is a bad answer to OP’s question.

So is that your response to OP’s question then? They’re wrong about seemingly everyone agreeing because they are mistaking respect for agreement? They mention wanting to see dissenting opinions respectfully, so I don’t think that’s the case. They are talking about how the majority seems to be on the same wavelength, not that there is a lack of polarization. Again it seems like you have an answer to a question OP didn’t ask (“Why aren’t there more trolls and tribalism on the fediverse?”) because that’s what you want to talk about instead.

But you’re placing the entire lack of diverse opinions on the lack of trolls, which is wrong because it assigns all diverse opinions as troll opinions. Really I think you’re just answering a different question than OP asked to frame it as a positive for the fediverse, which doesn’t address the actual concerns. As you say, real life people are better at voicing different opinions, and this isn’t an ad-supported network, so where are the non-troll different opinions?

I also gotta disagree with the idea that the fediverse is adverse to “user number go up!” mentality, the most common response to me saying a post is off topic or low quality or something is “it doesn’t matter because we need more content to attract more users!”

Not all different opinions are troll opinions

Ah yes, the hepcat

Stop blaming gay people for homophobia.
