Not quite twitter drama, but it has spilled there.
Factorio had a FFF on 2021-06-18 (July 18 2021) https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-366
It featured Uncle bob who seems to be controversial and this got the Redditors assmad. Reddit moderators removed the dev's comments and created a mega thread for the drama
