Last night, at approximately 2AM ET, a former employee, Madison Reeve, posted a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, accusing Linus Media Group of cultivating a toxic work environment and encouraging a work culture that was detrimental to her health as well as sexual harassment directed at her by Linus Media Group employees.

“I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health,” her statement begins. “My work was called ‘dogshit’ I was called ‘incompetent’. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to ‘put on my big girl pants’ and be ‘more assertive’.”

Reeve went on to accuse the company of barring her from videos after she reported being “grabbed multiple times in the office” and being told to “calm my tits” and “stop being such a bitch.”

It looks like maybe is showing the username as opposed to the display name. The username is "@autotldr@lemmings.world" and then the display name is "AutoTL;DR", so I think you're seeing it correctly you're just seeing a different thing.

I already created the summary. You can find it at https://lemmings.world/comment/1272374. (I tried to create the link for your instance but I failed miserably, for which I'm very sorry).
