Yes, I think most people feel the same way as you. The question then is what to do about the societal harms enabled by the platform.

I think that's a question for society, but also for the people working at the platform. For example, if you read interviews with 4chan founder Christopher "Moot" Poole, you'll see that he started out with a similar ethos to yours. He ended up reining in things some over time, still grew miserable with what he created, and eventually quit.

The problem is much larger for a platform that aims to be larger and not generally despised. If you look through the big platform rules, it's worth thinking about each item from a perspective of, "Am I happy devoting my life to enabling that?" E.g., the people who are into CSAM don't want protection from content their are choosing to engage with, just like you. But how many people want to go to work each day and say, "Yay, another day of supporting machinery to distribute child porn across the globe?"
