we don’t have the tools or resources to moderate it out effectively right now
If we don't have the tools or resources to grow this site then what is the goal here. And how do we accrue those resources without growing the userbase?
"Leave and convert people elsewhere, like on Reddit, but give them no alternative to Reddit" is not a feasible strategy because they slip back into the culture of WSB, which is what you're complaining about.
The "we outnumber them thing" doesn't apply anymore if the site's admin team is leftist and committed to that, which they clearly are. There is no war to be won over that like there would be on a subreddit, because we own the site.
The goal is the develop the tools so that we CAN manage a large influx of shit
For a perfect opportunity that comes along every what, once a year? This is the opportunity and the admins are clearly signaling that they are willing to make the attempt to progress, so who are you even arguing in defense of?
