I knew it all along.

It's almost as if we're on a platform that imitates it.

That sounds exactly like what a Redditor would say

Yeah, what are the chances that a company mismanaged by a bunch of incompetent unrepentant techbros also fostered a culture of sexual harassment?

People are leaning into the hate circlejerk way too hard, apart from the forum rant they have handled this situation pretty well. They addressed GN's concerns in their apology video by improving their workflows and communication, and are now hiring an investigator for Madison's claims. I can't really think of anything more that they could do, but I guess some people just want to be mad.

LTT is down, the community has made clear what they expected and they've acknowledged it. It's time to let them grow and recover from the situation.

People who are just looking at a reason to hate on them and fuel their anger are just gonna be left behind once everyone moves forward without them.

I thought people loved LTT. Theres only hatred now in the internet.

I really like LTT. All the stuff about mistakes and inaccuracies dont feel that bad to me personally and I feel like LTT would be in a better place regarding accuracy and testing after this.

Regarding the sell of the cooling system, yeah its bad. But I do believe it was a miscommunication and mismanagement within LTT. And int that case at least money can solve it.

Regarding the sexual harassments or “sexually bad environment” yeah this is really bad. I do attribute this to their male dominant eviornent. All those little sexual jokes are so fucking lame and really belong to the distant past of history. They behave like they are 16. The fact that they dont have women in the front of as presenters really shows they are all so sexist. Or at least the one at the top. I do hope justice will be done and everyone accountable gets the proper punishment. And I hope that after this the company will finally grow up and realize they can be still funny and with high quality without the need to oppress women.

I want to keep having fun and getting informed from LTT and i hope they can solve all that.

No pitchforks and no hatred.

I think an important thing people forget is even if they hate Linus, there are a lot of other people who work there that will be negatively impacted if LTT is "burnt to the ground". I am hoping they step up, take the criticism professionaly and improve. Anything else is a major disappointment.

Yes and no. Only a fraction of Redditors migrated, and that fraction is overrepresented by people who care about privacy, ethical business models, community projects and stewardship. And we've seen that the Lemmy discussions have been a lot more humane and productive.

I myself have remained pretty silent through this entire LMG saga. Maybe I represent a silent majority? Or maybe just a few? It's time to put down the pitchforks. The company has responded, let's wait and see what comes of it. At the end of the day, vote with your wallets. The LMG fanbase is starting to move out of "concerned citizenry" territory and into "self perpetuating angry mob" territory.
