>>16123188it started back in /jp/ as far as I remember. There were threads/people claiming shipping unity/anime unity/ board unity etc...
When containment started and /vt/ was created, /hlgg/ became a "unity" thread while the splits were free to hate on other vtubers as they pleased. (Bare with me here).
Basically, /hlgg/ was where you go to support all holo vtubers, with no hatred towards anyone and the splits were left to their own devices as "the fans reflect their oshi" started to become a thing. ie: Ame's was a unity split (no active hatred towards gen mates), while others were okay with open discussion.
/hlgg/ lost the "unity" moniker for some time now, but the splits still classified as "unity" or not.
