What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator. (www.theverge.com)

Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

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.

I think you're right about the silent majority. This whole amplifying rage over thing is wild to see in real time. It's scary how many people have Internet brain rot, check these ratios on most any push back to the rabid behaviour.

Agreed. I will stay subbed (for now) and see what comes from it.
