Neat, we're not federated with them

Good for you. I blocked that instance the second that was an option.

the fediverse is turning into a collection of echo chambers due to this and now i'm wondering if it's worth it to back to reddit.

There are instances that don't defederate at all. Or block piracy communities.

no matter how bad it might seem here I can promise reddit is a thousand times worse

Let me give an example: I have a friend on Bluesky. He's as middle of the road as it's possible to be (and I say that in an entirely neutral way; it makes him neither better nor worse than anyone). He's nice, and a good person. But he's aggressive, disruptive, a fight-picker, and a single-issue conversationalist on social media. Bluesky seems to have a disproportionate number of people who are very nice, well-meaning, but aggressive and disruptive. I left Bluesky to exit an echo chamber for something more serene. I think that's one thing the loud folk don't quite get, regardless of their ideology: not all of us are here to yell and throw things all the time.
