What's with the sudden flood of 5051 communities and instances?
I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.
Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?
They're establishing communities here because reddit (where the community mostly started) can censor or ban their community at any moment. The fediverse offers a lot more protection from censorship.
Seeing the censorship of redditors who mention Luigi, or wish anything bad on MAGA people, it makes a lot of sense not to be overly reliant on reddit when organizing protests.

There's also a community that mirrors posts and comments from Reddit, so it looks like a lot is happening here while it's actually all happening on Reddit.
