i mean, the developers are communists (hence why they went with the .ml TLD on their instance), so i think it is a trend that predates any significant reddit migration. also federated social media has kind of always been full of communists and anarchists. i reckon it kind of goes hand in hand with the distrust of the big corpo sites.

anyways, go touch grass, please.
