...this may not be my place...

Of course it is your place. You have stake in this project. These types of drama are not new. They can be found in the time before the fork as well. The bot voting was an issue, then the down voting wars of @berniesanders and his crew. Free downvotes solved things with Bernie and he cashed out about a year ago. So solutions are possible. Those solutions take debate however. If such debates are upsetting to you then you can always silence those who upset you on your feed with the mute option.
