Is lemmy just going to become reddit 2.0? (sh.itjust.works)

The more I use lemmy, the more it begins to just feel like all the same problems reddit had. It has the same problems with major communities having far left moderation standards that only apply to the right, the same hive mind users that just spam the same tired out leftist talking points over and over while refusing anything close to an actual discussion.

The only upsides are that downvotes aren't used to punish you site wide, and the handful of non-leftist instances that exist, though they always end up defederated by all the major instances, effectively making them poor spaces for general discussion.

So what are your thoughts? Is this just the "more like under new management" from megamind? Is there hope for it to become a decent platform for everyone, not just the left?

Edit: yeah, it's just as bad. Fuck the retarded admins and fuck the left

It may just be that there are a lot more "leftist people" than you think there are. The world is not the U.S., and what is "left" in the U.S. is centre or even rightwing in a lot of other countries. To me, a complaint like this sounds more like "I want a far-right forum online", in which case 4chan is probably your best bet.
