I'm running Emacs 28 and cannot reproduce the issue you observe. Running emacs -Q I find M-j is bound to M-j runs the command default-indent-new-line (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’. It is bound to C-M-j, M-j. (default-indent-new-line &optional SOFT FORCE) Break line at point and indent. If a comment syntax is defined, call ‘comment-line-break-function’. The inserted newline is marked hard if variable ‘use-hard-newlines’ is true, unless optional argument SOFT is non-nil. This binding is the same inside and outside of org mode. This is with org version Org mode version 9.5 (release_9.5-72-gc5d6656 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/28.0.60/lisp/org/) and Emacs version GNU Emacs 28.0.60 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.30, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2021-11-26 Note that C-j in org mode is different from 'normal' C-j in that it is bound to org-return-and-maybe-indent. If you want M-j to act like C-j in org mode, you would need to rebind M-j to org-return-and-maybe-indent in an appropriate org mode startup hook.
