The official forums and main Discord are fine - the original community still hangs out there and remains chill and friendly. It's just the wider community (Reddit, 4chan, etc) that spawned after Sseeth's video that's a problem.

For example, some guy on 4chan made a lovely little mod called R*peSector where you can capture enemy officers and story characters and... well, yeah. When the subreddit mods tried to ban discussion of it, the community went nuts and was like 90% in favor of a mod that adds explicit sexual assault as a feature to a freaking spaceship combat game, one where character interaction is a perfunctory feature that makes up like 1% of the experience.

Seeing the new community rally around that kind of thing destroyed my interest in the game, even if by all accounts the dev and official communities are horrified by its existence.
