I assume it's because the term "woke" will almost always derail a thread.

well, people who use it to self-identify often use it in terms of being aware, a positive attribution, and I assume people who use it to identify others use it in terms of being judgmental, a negative attribution. So yeah, it's a highly charged term.

I have never seen anyone in a social network self-identifying as "woke".

I have seen it countless times being thrown as a vague, shapeless accusatory things that can go from people being overboard in their language policing to opposing real, actual fascism.

Same with SJWs. Lots of people wore that label until their actions caused it to become negative, at which point everyone who proudly wore it pretended to never have ever heard of it before their ideological enemies started using it. No doubt some new label will replace woke, be worn proudly, get tarnished by the people who wear that label, and once again they'll try fleeing from the associations they created.
