The thread is here, for those like me, who have closed and blocked twitter

I don't watch Linus' videos that often, and I don't know the names of the people working for him. But from what is stated on that series of tweets, seems to be straight up harassment / gender discrimination.

Anyway it's good that it's surfacing, but I hope that it doesn't escalate any more as a drama, because it seems like they have a fairly toxic community, and the one that's always being targeted are the ex-employees.

What is described here is abuse. Plain and simple.

Wow that is fucking awful in it's entirety. Jesus fucking Christ, seems like just burnout and overwork are not the only issues present there. Goes a lot deeper than that with micromanagement and a "boys club" attitude, gross.

Also thank you for the link, I was so confused where to the rest of the post was.

Jesus fucking Christ that sounds awful. Thanks for the link I have no idea how to use twitter and no interest in learning. X

The way Twatter displays its threads is nonsensical and stupid anyway, just like a lot of other aspects of the platform.
