you joke but this is how he's brightly discussed in some circles lol I have seen some concerning publications that refer to him as uncle Ted and other light-hearted names in a similar context

Seems like it's up there with the killdozer Fandom. Casual terrorism... Or living the American dream?

That was the Reddit spoiler tag, so I'm guessing they're using one of the ex-reddit clients that pivoted to Lemmy during the great migration.

Either Sync, Boost, Eternity, or.. the other one I couldn't remember the name of.
