You're confusing capitalists, ie capital owners, with liberals, those who are pro-capitalism. As for Lemmy, its growth is tied to recognition and Reddit's decay, the established community on Reddit is itself the draw.

what's the cutoff between capital owners and regular rich assholes, it a certain $ amount or is just as soon as your the one paying people?

I would say only a subset of liberals accept raw Capitalism. Liberals need free markets which is a contradiction with Capitalism. To have less capitalistic structures, people would have to support something with no immedite benefits. Just waiting for Capitalism's decline is like waiting for Reddit's decline. It's always there but never so much that the majority switches. Something is missing that people act on their own.
