the biggest three reasons to me are:

they block entire instances with viewpoints they disagree with through defederation like a nanny state instead of letting you make the decision for yourself as a adult.
they ignore comments personally attacking leftists users even though it's against their own instance's rules, but are hyper vigilant on known leftist commenters.
