mean lemmy is, like the early days of reddit and digg before it, full of tech enthusiasts.
Linus was one of if not the most successful tech YouTuber. He went from a YouTuber to a tech media empire. I don't know why you'd be surprised that a site that is basically full of his target audience is interested in it.
And honestly this is some awful stuff.
I mean I'm fucking sick of being reminded Trump is a real person, but I'm not surprised by all the coverage of his arrests.
And to add, he held such away with the tech enthusiast community that, if during the reddit fallout, he had come out and talked shit about lemmy under the guise of some list of reasons and pushed for kbin or even some other service entirely then we would likely see a drastic difference in the number of people that joined here.
