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

honestly I kind of used reddit for my own stuff I ignored most of it. Nnn was where tga went after they got banned it was less fun to read so I didn't keep up. TGA was just so insane even the .win for them and 8koon seem tame with less insane rambling. The main draw to reddit was insane rambling for me. And tech/obscure drug communities(and even those attracted bitching about culture war near the end of my time) or went totally private. I'm (gasp) pro-modernia vaccine; The only one that worked as advertised... The nnn people (and everyone else) dragged covid on so much longer than needed. It should of never even gotten to the point it was a pandemic or endemic. It's fucking sars not some magic new thing. The media reporting didn't help. The whole situation is/was a mess...
beep bop be nice 😂🙂😂 pretty sure you are a red blooded American. You actually responded to mod actions and don't just end up posting porn or whatever to try to get banned... On that I'm hyped to not be a mod starting Friday when I hand things over to the community... Being a mod sucks when I just want to lurk or argue with schizo's not over politics. Everyone reports such trivial stuff.
I will say we really need term limits almost all the elected officials are really old. Like an issue both sides agree with outside the elected officials who have no will to do it. Like drain the swamp but don't refill it with geriatric cronies. And the court system should be apolitical but I guess everyone conveniently forgot that.

In my idealized world both(actually like 3-6) parties would be able to discuss stuff and competently address issues not argue over made up problems to throw red meat to the base.(looking at you both major parties). Like congress trying to learn how the internet works is always an endless source of entertainment.

Well this has been a manifesto work is over I'm going to go make dinner.
