Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

Ain't that the truth! I will say during my tenure on reddit, I heard of CTH and thought to myself, "I ultimately support a similar vision for our future, how bad can it be?" I was shocked to find one of the most exclusionary, bigoted dens of filth I'd seen outside of places like r/T_D

Ableist and bigoted language abounded, it was impossible to engage because they'd immediately bristle when anyone they perceived as beneath them wandered in.

I see a lot of the same things here. It's really disappointing to us leftists who actually want to effect change. No one will listen to people like that. Hopefully they're just kids who grow out of ... whatever this is.
