The migration from Digg (and /. beforehand) didn't happen overnight. Also subreddits didn't even appear until 2008. These things take time, and that's good. Lemmy is not ready for mass adoption, but it will be soon enough.

Voting because someone else does or doesn't vote this way or that is sport not politics. I would hope that most people take it far more seriously.

Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy's clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

TBH I don't see a way back for them.

They've wedged themselves with this culture war nonsense. They'd need to wind that back to become popular enough to form a majority, but that would drive away their 'core' voters. I suspect they'll soon be relegated to the electoral effectiveness of One Nation. Especially as the media landscape continues to evolve.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see someone like the Greens forming the official opposition within a few years.
