Any alternative to reddit becomes full of edgelords and LARPers
Because anyone softer doesn't need an alternative. They could just stay on reddit because a small amount of self-censoring will suffice.
KIA1 on reddit is a "true/good liberal" shithole, while KIA2 was founded mostly on the backs of people banned from KIA1 for being too extreme or having bad opinions. And then any of our "softer" people on KIA2 either aren't committed enough to join a whole different website, or just moved on because it wasn't a deeply held fight for them.
These people are expecting the site owners/admin to facilitate illegal activity and risk jail time because they can't just jack off to normal porn.
No, most people expect them to not be morally hypocritical about it. If it was entirely legal based, they would say that. Instead they often use it as a position to soapbox about how everyone is a pedo or that all porn is evil. Most people would understand the rock/hard place problem of it, instead they turn it into a "my principles only count until its what I dislike."
These are true problems, I won't disagree. But these are problems because most people sat on their asses and let it progress so far that you have to share your space with a Nazi and borderline criminal to even speak. To pretend there is some mystical compromise where "we keep out the riffraff so the normies will flock in!" is pure utopian fallacy.
We lost this "culture war" numerous times over already. This is the consequence of that.
