There's a definite bent, but I actually don't feel starved for diversity. Looking at the posts in my feed sorted by new, it's about half America bad but there's also miscellaneous news stories and programming memes. No ancient Roman memes or goofy maps today, but I also spend a lot of time on that.

I suspect the next people in line to sign up are also interested in OSS and unhappy with Trump, but less likely to actually post about it, so basically content will regress to the mean fast enough to keep up. We've already seen a lot of movement away from Marxist-Leninist politics, which is what the devs started with.
