The last major update was in 2017, bots started plaguing casual mode around 2018/19, and ever since the game has seen anastonishingly tiny amount of updates outside ofhthe usual summer, Halloween and Christmas updates (which just shove community made content from the Workshop into special gamemodes and crates); apart from the recent 64-bit version and the VScript addition a while back, nothing of interest has happened in the last handful of years. F2P lost their ability to call medic and the bot crisis is completely unsolved.
It’s sad. But as another user pointed out, at least we have e community servers (and good ones).
Yeah! My current favorite is Uncletopia, which was created by the popular UncleDane TF2 youtuber but is now run by a community of dedicated people (but I think Dane still pays the bills). It has non-vanilla tweaks, such as no random crits, no random bullet spread, voting for maps and team scrambling, etc. The skill ceiling is also a tad higher than regular casual, which I like since it pushes me to improve further. I love the tweaks, the community and have never seen any bots, so it’s great!
Skial is another major network that has been around forever and is still rocking like a champ. I don’t play as much there, but I always find it a nice place as well :)
It was fun! Reminded me why I got so hooked on it in the first place. Quite rusty though, first time launching in a few years and even that time was a return after a long absence.

That sounds great. Thanks for the info. I think I’ll have to dive back in soon.
Nice! Would love to see you around :)
I’m actually trying right now but the game keeps crashing st launch.
Edit: restarting steam may have worked
hehe let me know how it goes!

Nice to hear! I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it again :P
