The real gist to sum all this up is we all hate each other and we're just finding reasons to proclaim why we are the supreme authority and our opponents are vapid, cruel and hollow. Snark, smarm, it's all the same manipulative, petty shit.
And it seems like Scocca was kind of hung up on this in a way that's... well, smarmy ("So you're saying you LIED") With Daisey it's obvious why he got caught up in it, because Apple and Foxconn had billion dollar brands under attack and fired back with both barrels

But the Sedaris thing was about him getting caught up in the wake of this - I think literally because Daisey namedropped him as someone who made things up - and then someone "fact-checked" Sedaris like "I don't think his funny story about being a mall Santa really happened guys"

And IIRC most people backlashed on this pretty hard while Scocca was still on it "James Frey lied about being a drug addict, Daisey lied about meeting a plant worker with a crushed hand, Sedaris lied about... a funny story about being a mall Santa"
