You're right about advertising, but they also are a legal target. Any platform that has sex related content on it will eventually feel pressure from their country's government. It just takes one incident and

I reckon platforms see them as a burden due to the volume of regulation that they inevitably become saddled with, or face penalties. Hence why tumblr rolled the dice on removing it all, Reddit is restricting ease of access, and Pornhub purged most of its content.

I'm interested to see how the Fediverse will handle it when it eventually comes this way.

I'm not sure it was, unless you actively sought it out.

Lots of communities were nice and pleasant, with little to no animosity. The politics subs invite debate and discussion, so naturally argumentative people gravitate there. But most of Reddit was fun

Online discussions can be toxic anywhere. You don't have to take part in a community and don't have to be dragged into dramw. There's always somewhere more welcoming.

This place is becoming an echo chamber.

I don't doubt that there are bots in the comments on Reddit (as if that can even be disputed) but pretending like nobody could possibly just not be interested in moving to lemmy is wrong. There's lots of teething troubles here still which need to be resolved before most people will consider it. Whinging about astroturfing comment sections isn't gonna make dankmemes or pcmasterrace come to lemmy.

What would this achieve? Mods who've spent years building their communities aren't going to hurt their reputation just so you can live out a fantasy of burning Reddit to the ground. We get it, it hurts to lose a community. But if you're done with Reddit, post content here that makes this place better. For now at least, Reddit and Kbin/Lemmy will exist together. There's not going to be a Diggesque switchover to this platform, there's too many people who just don't share our concerns, amongst other blockers. This is doubly so if the only unique content here is complaining about Reddit.

Basically, live and let live. Some people will find their way here in due time. Spez is doing a fine job of butchering Reddit himself. He doesn't need help.
