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?

Eastern European politics be wildin' lol. I'm American and was approaching it from a more American perspective, where such talk is uncommonly found, despite being commonly accused.

EDIT: Let me be completely clear: I’m not saying you hold beliefs like that. I’m just saying “conservative” is a broad brush that includes both the reasonable and the terrible

Agreed. In general, I'm not a fan of the relative style of political labeling because it varies so broadly over time and place since the ideas of "conservative" and "progressive" are highly dependent on the existing culture and systems of a place.
