But little by little, they started asking Jay and the team for moderation tools, and to kick people off. And unfortunately they followed through with it.

This bit I don't get. Even on Lemmy and Mastodon we need moderation tools and arguably the current provisions aren't fit for purpose. It's not something that can just be pushed to the individual users and most hobbyists who want to spin up public servers don't want to be spending their time wading through reports and CSAM. How to provide a safe environment for users is still an unsolved problem in the fediverse so it's no wonder people drift to corporate controlled servers which say least nominally have the resources to do something about it.
