    That takes guts. Good for him.

    I felt that was necessary to say at least once amid all the grim comments about how welp he’s fuckin dead. I mean there’s truth to that but it shouldn’t be the sum total of our reaction to this.

      Ah, but you also thought you left Reddit behind… Only to experience the same lame ass cliche jokes and same hive mind down vote brigades and I believe I hear the mod being summoned for dinner with the roommates. Lemmy sure did crap out awful fast.

      It does. It’s such an abrupt about-face that I can see why everyone initially thought it was staged. It’s like a gazelle turning round and headbutting a chasing lion or something. Maybe he just received a terminal diagnosis and thought ‘fuck it’?

        I was thinking rather of hyenas circling a lion, each one nipping at a heel, a tail, an ear, none quite confident enough yet to bum rush the fucker all at once… Except they’re all just hamsters… Nasty, evil little fucking hamsters, ready to rip each other to shreds 🐹
