The mods at /r/bitcoin are now deleting every post that mentions the existence of the "other" implementation of bitcoin, whatever the contents. Dozens of posts that had hundreds of upvotes and hundreds of comments. And banning users who defend it, too.
So much for the great age of freedom and stuff that bitcoin was going to bring.
Oh, and the bitcoin "news" webshites, like CoinDesk, have been as silent on the topic as any statist newsmedia would be.
This makes me think that it is very possible that a lot of these individuals are selling their BTC out of frustration and being fed up with being silenced.
