Why do people on reddit seem to hate Lemmy/Mbin/other federated link aggregators?

I was just thinking about this because I've been going through and blocking every political community. I've found that when that is gone, there's really not that much left aside from random technology focused stuff, some memes, asinine twitter screenshots, and a fuck ton of linux stuff. And the comments sections of seemingly unrelated posts often devolve into political shit slinging. I'm on an instance that blocks lemmygrad and hexbear so I can imagine it's far worse for the ones that don't. I'm starting to sour on lemmy too because there's basically nothing here of interest to me anymore.
Confirmed that the ones that don't block hexbear and lemmygrad.ml are significantly worse:-).
I like [email protected], but there's less than a post a day to it. At some point it's up to us to build what we want to see in the world, which is harder when there are fewer of us - so if becomes a cache-22 where we need more people to make new content but we would need more content to attract new people.
And apparently mod tools here are inadequate, though hopefully improving.
Well said. I’m feeling this way too.
