I prefer the separation.
Its interesting to read 3 or 4 topics on the same thing (sometimes it's even the same person posting to multiple instances) but getting wildly different "public opinion" depending on where it was posted and who ended up as the top comment (which tends to influence the rest of the comments).
Yeah, i have yet to see any actually good arguments for all this unification and merging talk. Do people just have some OCD stuff going or are there any real problems with the way it is right now?
Its almost zero effort to just follow multiple communities for the same stuff and there are clients that automatically hide crossposts if that annoys people.

I don't want the same post to show up 5 times in a row. And even when it's not in a row I'm tired of seeing the same post, but on 50 different places over the course of a week. That example happens all the damn time with political posts. I don't want to filter them all out, but seeing the same thing over and over and over again is extremely annoying.
