Given that the Tenacity team wanted to be a fork for everyone, having their first action be refusing a popular vote was a bad look and things allegedly escalated from there.
It is cowardly and disgusting, and I do not want to hear it ever again.
The trustworthiness of the author decreased when he deleted posts on HN claiming his Pinephone hanged, which unfortunateley deleted evidence.
This is, I think it's fair to say, a worse name than the one which was chosen.

As you can tell from the cartoon and organization name, it’s a 4chan meme based on a Simpsons episode:
Covering up what was originally a more objectionable suggestion with indicators later that it was more benign is what I would consider SOP for something like this. That doesn't mean it is the more alleged meaning, but I wouldn't take anything from the sneedacity fork as an indicator it isn't/wasn't for that reason.
Edit: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sneed has evidence both ways as to what it might have meant. If it truly originated on 4chan, I know which one I think is more likely though...
