Yeah, I've unfortunately been watching this in real time over the years, and the bad faith from these guys is just on another level. First, they were fairly overt about what they'd done because they were proud of it. Later, they mischaracterized it through rewriting history. And these days, they just don't talk about it at all (notably, there isn't a word about it in the article linked above).

Here's another example: the original Reddit thread from 2022 talking about DHH being uninvited, where the same person abused his moderator powers by actually just outright banning anyone who dared to talk about why it actually happened:
