No, it is not true. There was a proposal on 8btc (which is not censored at all) by a random person. He announced some "Terminator Plan" which is horribly risky just to gain additional 3 TPS. This post was on r/bitcoin and labeled as FUD for a while but was eventually taken down. The 'people' at r/btc have been basically celebrating, using new idiotic phrases such as Corexit, even though there is zero evidence that any major pool would participate in this. Keep in mind that the comment section on that website can be easily manipulated (as long as you have 1 person to talk Chinese for you).
