Why do people on reddit seem to hate Lemmy/Mbin/other federated link aggregators? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was just reading this post https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1gmv76n/is_reddit_going_to_remain_the_primary_space_for/ and many barely see the fediverse as an alternative and they seem to have a negative bias towards it. Super ironic when it comes to the self-hosting community. Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views. But it doesn't really matter when it's federated and FOSS. I think it's clear-cut that the selfhosting community on Lemmy is a perfect alternative to reddit. Why is there such a negative bias?

Could be their total intolerance for opposing views, don't see that on Reddit but it's rampant on Lemmy.

A good example of this is LiPoly, a twit on a Lemmy instance, downvotes every post I make.

I haven't been on reddit for over a year, but I cannot imagine that topics like say atheism don't polarise. What makes you think it is the case?

@5714 But there because it's divided into groups, those of us not interested in atheism never even look at it.
