Evil Linus meme aside, it’s big time damage control at LMG right now: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY
As usually happens with stuff like this, once started, many others will come out of the woodwork and it’s already started: https://lemm.ee/post/4433736. Of course we have to take some of these things with a grain of salt. However, if even a tiny bit of what Madison went through is true, this is unbelievably horrible.
I’m sure there will be plenty of LMG/LTT fans that will take this apology and happily move on. I for one will not.

Did you even read the Madison post?
With you here. It’s about time he had some humble pie, he was already aware he wasn’t really CEO material for a company of the size LMG has grown to. It’s very good there’s now someone above him whose job it is to tell him no. Until now, the no’s have only come from below his position. Clearly that’s not enough anymore.
What happened to Madison shows they should have had professional HR on staff far, far sooner than they did. Her employment there having gone the way it did, means LMG has some serious cracks in its company culture, policy, and the views of its leading staff, including Linus.
But looking at the way LMG operates, and the kinds of things Linus wants to do, and the way he says he wants things to go, shows hes not malicious. It shows he is not sufficiently competent.
This is a fuckup. One that might kill the company. And if it does, they will have done it to themselves. But it’s a fuckup, not the evil masterplan of a villanous leader.
What a honest and terrible take on things. This statement screams of hero worship, if someone does something deserving of retribution then they deserve punishment be it public, civil, or criminal.
Surprise surprise the boot licker deleted his comment.
Jesus thank you for saying that, I’ve been on Memmy and it doesn’t say deleted or anything so I was always confused
Oh! Ok. On Jerboa, This appears to be replies to a comment asking about other tech channels. Was so confused.
I don’t see any deleted comments. Fediverse has some interesting mechanics to get used too.
When you send a comment or post it’s federated across. When you delete a message or edit it, it takes another federated broadcast. It’s possible in the flurry of actions being taken that some federation messages just go missing. So sometimes you’ll be missing comments on your instance, or miss updates… or miss upvote/downvote actions. So everything should just be considered best effort here.
Parasocial relationships are strong in this one, eh?
