I guess you don't have the context of what the commit message means. "Leftoids" is a derogatory slang term for people who aren't politically right-wing, and deleting the CoC like this while kicking everyone else out and declaring that the project has been "reclaimed from the leftoids" reads less like a prank and more like someone wanted to kick political opponents off the project.
