They definitely do do that, but at their own peril. Political extremism that is segregated into a single area is more likely to be watched, and the watchers don’t have to look around too far either. Or, in the case of Truth Social IIRC, their data might become readily available.
Or even instances on the other side, like Kolektiva, which recently had a major data breach due to unencrypted data sitting around somebody’s house.
Open source technology being available to anybody is a sword that cuts both ways, especially depending on how amateurish the people running the software are.
