It's almost exactly a copy of reddit issues but most people that use reddit haven't heard about it.

Among other reasons, there’s no marketing budget.

    I reckon that is one of the reasons. Lemmy’s (and the entire ActivityPub/Fediverse ecosystem/graph) attracts people with a positive, progressive attitude.

    Advertising is based on passive attitude and thrives on negative attitudes.

    There was a lot of negative being accepted (and sometimes actively pushed) on some instances, but most other instances defederated from them.

    Advertising is based on passive attitude and thrives on negative attitudes.

    This is a nice-sounding story that flatters our egos, but unless scientific studies corroborate, that’s all it is.
