Reddit cannot allow lolicon or Nazi imagery because it's illegal in some countries, and the company would risk fines by allowing it. Mastodon has no such problem as long as the server is in a country that allows the content. Mastodon also avoids the problem some Youtube creators are facing with demonetization. If a video is controversial, Youtube may decide not to show ads on it at all (nor pay the creator) because some advertisers don't want to be associated with the content. I don't know if any Mastodon servers use advertising at all, but if they did they could be more fine-grained in matching content to advertisers. A similarly federated video-sharing network could serve controversial video creators.
