I think it’s a reference to r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu a very old, established subreddit for rage comics memes. Then when the trans meme subreddit became a thing, they copied the style of the name. Then they brought the same name over to Lemmy.
There are other subreddits with the same style name, like r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt for IT related memes.
I could be wrong, I wasn’t there for the formation of the /r/traa subreddit, but that’s my speculation.

As a (former) old reddit user that had been around since the beginning, you're 100% correct.
