Why do anarchists stay on reddit or other corporate-run platforms? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I know these federated communities exist as well as raddle, but it still seems like most people will stay on toxic and corporate-run platforms like reddit or Twitter. I'm far from perfect myself and I still use reddit sometimes, especially for more niche communities, but when it comes to ideologically strong communities like the anarchist ones, it just feels wrong that the majority still hang out on reddit. Or you know, moving to something like Bsky when Twitter became too toxic but which is still run by a large, for-profit corporation (if they moved in the first place). What are your thoughts? Is there any justification for this?

I don't demand or request. I am just stating, as I've done many times before, that I didn't harass anyone and there's no "evidence" out there proving otherwise. All there is, as usual, is hexbears diluting the meaning of the word "harassment" to character assassinate those they collectively dislike.

You did, of course, repeatedly throw abuse, and it was entirely in line with the instance rules to then ban you.

No I didn't "repeatedly throw abuse". I don't care about being banned. But I do care about the disinfo you're spreading. I called them PoS once after being constantly goaded by them and their communities and banned based on a hypocritical reason which is one of my triggers, and them simply replied to the insults and goading thrown at me further in PMs.

A casual skimming of that thread shows 5 abusive DMs in screenshots alone.

Now that's just straight up lying. But anyone can check out that thread or the one I posted myself about it instead.

It's not lying and I agree folks can check out the link I posted.
