No. I had an account when the instance was first set up, but I got banned for getting into an argument with a power-user. I wouldn't say it's always been like this, but this is definitely what it's like normally.
We mutated out of a band of subreddit refugees from r/ChapoTrapHouse, but I feel like the current community doesn't fully live up to what it used to be.
I think it was, by its nature, susceptible to compromise as described above, which has been capitalized upon. Whatever it was, or pretends to be, has pretty clearly been manipulated into a deliberately obnoxious parody that, functionally, obstructs left unity and overwhelmingly benefits neolibs.
"People" can engage in civil discourse to discuss those beliefs. That's not what I'm seeing, what I'm seeing is immediate strawmanning, insults, and overall cartoonish disrespect. That's not someone with a different belief, that's someone presenting the most obnoxious possible parody of someone with that belief.
What's funny is those beliefs aren't even that different, I'm pretty far left. This is just hivemind soundbite nonsense.

And that's exactly what I'm seeing from you and other shitjustworks users.
That's not someone with a different belief, that's someone presenting the most obnoxious possible parody of someone with that belief.
So should I take it that all the people doing a perfect impression of an obnoxious, arrogant, disrespectful lib (like yourself), are actually secretly right wing trolls?
Benefitting neolibs is when you're vocally against their highly profitable war in Ukraine, and left unity is when you vote blue to send cluster bombs to nazis.

Or, maybe, people just hold different beliefs to you.
