Why don't Mods stick a post advising user to join their Lemmy/Kbin instances? (lemmy.world)

I see reddit literally forcing their hand to have the subreddits open, but that hasn't stopped a couple of them from going NSFW or just malicious compliance. What better way to maliciously comply than to send their users to a decentralized competitor? I mean, they'd have to pony up to get it up and running, but that's nothing some donations / light ads couldn't fix

From the few posts I read, Reddit banned some people for aggresive advertising or spamming when they tried to recomment people to try out Lemmy and Kbin.

It's also clear that some moderators don't want to lose their previous power so they just rolled over. Also worth mentioning that some subreddit users are fine with the upcoming changes and were happy when moderators re-opened.

This is it. Fuck everything else, it's the power.
