I think it's the general focus on driving engagement and feeding the algorithm.
And what's the excuse for things like the fediverse where there's no algorithm?
It isn't rare to find troll accounts (specially on news communities) and people keep engaging with them, I doubt people even attempt at reporting them since they last a long time
Most people here are (or were) still engaged on other social networks. The engagement seeking mindset is just so widespread, that people bring it with them to the fediverse where it makes no sense.
At least that's my answer. Not saying it is the cause, but it sounds about right to me.
It's worse that this makes even more sense since we are mostly people who left reddit and it's so obvious that people have no idea what the Report button is for over there.
