Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout ‘will pass’ “I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public,” CEO Steve Huffman says in an internal memo. “Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.”
Nothing new, but shows that there is absolutely no attempt to find a compromise. I won't be coming back on Wednesday.
After slandering the Apollo Dev, Steve now starts to slander the entire userbase.
But please continue to mod unpaid and unappreciated!
What a drama queen. No one has suggested anything more violent than harsh language.
Did he just imply people will protest by assaulting someone wearing a reddit logo?!
Correct, when you think he can't sink lower he starts to Digg
To be fair, he isn't wrong.
I cannot see another blackout happening. I think a sizeable chunk of Reddit's moderators would go back if it otherwise meant losing power and influence on one of the largest social media sites.
Of course a lengthier or indefinite blackout of most of Reddit's communities would cause major disruption.
