Reply to comment by wherehaveubeen in Homesteaders by megapeptobismol

/r/homestead is run by Paul Wheaton, a literal fucking cult leader who uses slave labor on his property. This is just one of many, many accounts of his behavior you can find online. There used to be an entire subreddit devoted to keeping tabs on his behavior over at r/PaulWheatonWatch. I will not tag him because he is known for brigading (his original account, u/PaulWheaton12, was banned for brigading and harassment), and he's also known for having a ton of sock puppet accounts.

Visit that subreddit at your own risk.

Not to offend anyone but I can see easily see how homesteading can turn into a commune like cult

Probably happens more than ppl know

homestead and commune are defined differently for sure
