That and apathy/Ignorance of the issue. Especially with the younger generation (which is the majority of reddit now).
Tried to get a few smaller subs with a lot of Zoomers in them to join me, and their response was basically “bruh, who is spez?”, “in your dreams”, or “spez isn’t a pedophile; quit making shit up”. I mean just look at this. They straight-up attacked me:
Yeah I have never heard of spez being a pedophile. Unless he’s been convicted you shouldn’t be calling him that. It could be taken as defamation.
Also I fully get why people don’t want to move. Lemmy is a great idea but it’s a work in progress with a small user base. I lost my whole account not long ago. This a community which is already fragmented from moving platforms why would they go through that hell again when Lemmy might not even pan out.

You can see a lot of the sunk cost feeling going on in there.
