>It started really wildly happening around 2013-2014 where no community was to remain a zone without some minority of users politicising it for attention.

It was actually in September 2013 when it started ... or was it September 1993 ...? Uh, oh, how time flies, never mind.

September 1993 sounds reasonable. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/22/us/dispute-over-computer-...

Time does indeed fly. I was born in 1993 :)
