The "haha, we've made an oopsie" tone of the video (sponsorship jokes, plugging their store link, possible sex joke, deflecting to "I'm just a human" instead of fully taking the blame) don't sit right with me. I was also hoping they would address Madison's comments on why she quit.

I think Madison's post happened after the video itself was planned, recorded, etc, so it's understandable why that's not addressed. But Linus really has to address what she's said on the forums ASAP at least, because there's a lot of damning claims towards his company from her. Like seriously, wtf Linus?

Also, they should stop deleting all mentionings of the Madison thing on the apology video as they doing are now, makes it all seem very disingenuous and fake.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Can confirm. They appear to be doing it manually, so lots are still up (for now), but entire threads are being disappeared.

[–] Anonymousllama@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

It should be it's own topic of discussion. It makes sense why they're trying to control the comments on that video specifically.

Given his responses so far, he's probably just going to dig his hole even further.

To quote poetry:

Sex joke?

Thats not a sex joke, that's just a server uptime thing

Yeah I get the various other critiques others have for this video but complaining about the "potential sex jokes" is a stretch.

Agreed
