      If I recall correctly, until recently (a few months ago?), this community was legit conservative. But then someone noticed all the mods had left.

      I think they tried, but the least communist place on this website is the Linux sub on sh.itjust.works and they’ll get pissy about the MIT license versus the GPL. The conservatives didn’t stick around, the community went unmoderated, the local kids were looking for a fun clubhouse to play in…
