I fail to see how that equates to "communism good" though.

The problem is that very few people make the decisions that impact everyone on the platform, which ends up meaning "capitalism bad". Fixing that problem with a system that's basically owned by users is sort of like making the system communist.

surely most people on here live and benefit from capitalist societies.

Sure, they live in capitalist societies, but do they honestly benefit from it being capitalist more than they would from it being communist or socialist? Are they really better off in a system that inherently increases inequality rather than decreasing it?
