Thank you! I do have a theory formed from watching the data aggregate
over time: there's a big portion of r/emacs because the survey was
advertised there for a long time, forming a "long tail" of submissions.
The post of the survey was pinned at the top of r/emacs for 5 weeks. And
I remember that when the Hacker News post started trending, it brought
in more responses than any other sources. Just that the Hacker News post
disappeared after a day, when r/emacs stayed. We should plot aggregate
submissions over time grouped by source to confirm.
