>>15302033the uncletopia/creators lemmings have always believed that the game's casual mode should be wiped out so that everyone can be corralled into their servers for the sake of "active development and moderation" but in reality the people at the top just want to control the game with an iron fist. For example I accidentally pressed my YWNBAW key on uncletopia then said "haha whoops" in chat but got banned for weeks anyways. The bots came from
creators.tf due to a discord fight resulting in tf2's source code being leaked but it's not known if there's any particular entity hosting the majority of the bots.
However the entity hosting the majority of the bots is probably the redditors/discord folks from creators (now uncletopia) though, they genuinely think they're doing the right thing by forcing people into their networks, I would definitely do the same thing if I were in their shoes
