Be careful about assertions like that, though. Misinformation taken as fact is posted all the time… just yesterday, I looked up some picture everyone was harping on in a comment with hundreds of upvotes, and it was totally fake. Probably AI generated. No one even checked.
And when I’ve pointed this out in the past, no one cared. People only prune information if it doesn’t validate their beliefs.
I’m not saying the Factorio dev isn’t a jerk, necessarily, just that I don’t trust Fediverse commenters to have an ounce of information hygiene.

I’ve mostly accepted that everyone is a piece of shit if you go digging hard enough. So I really don’t care unless it’s really bad.
