Out of curiosity I went to exploding-heads.com and it looks like it’s not working anymore. Is there a new place they hang out now? Are they undercover on the regular servers or something? It’d be a little surprising to me if they all just gave up on being active on the Fediverse.
I’ve seen a couple active on Lemmy.world lately, but nothing out of the ordinary. They’ll be back though, one way or the other. We have to be aware of that.
I’ve been using Proton Mail and VPN for a while now, and I’m just wondering how everyone else feels about them.

I’d argue the two things are different in the fact that in this case Madison is talking about direct actions by LMG employees, not the channel’s fanbase.
While he is undoubtedly part of it, at least by way of enabling scummy individuals, Linus is not the only problem here. The whole premise and work environment at LMG is batshit insane it seems.
