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

    I’m working on a Lemmy instance just for conservatives so that moderation and unjustified censorship will not be a problem anymore. The server is hosted in Kentucky in a datacenter run by conservative friends.

    I started working on it since lemmy.world banned me and either took over or deleted the communities that I created. None of them promoted any extreme views, just normal political stuff. I didn’t break any of their actual rules. Their reasoning: spreading fake news.
