The reason as to why here relative to elsewhere is probably because people here tend to be more into free software and privacy and things like that, and caring about those things tends to have an anti-corporate aspect, because of the way corporations tend to act, and aligns pretty well with wider anticapitalist beliefs
Also the devs and pre-Reddit influx population are anticapitalist so that kind of helps influence the trajectory a bit
Coming in hot with the real answer as to why it feels that way on the fediverse relative to the rest of the internet.
