I feel this is due to HN becoming more mainstream, which is generally pro-establishment. Some smaller servers in the Fediverse still have the old anti-establishment, anti-copyright, wild west vibe of the old Internet.

Yet, without copyright on the content they publish they have no legal standing to say "no, you don't have the right/license to be able to do what you want with my content."
