I am not surprised at all. I do enjoy watching the train wreck though

This was some good doublespeak FTA.

“We have not threatened anyone,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt said in a statement to The Verge. “That’s not how we operate. Pressuring people is not our goal. We’re communicating expectations and how things work...."

Well then. potato really is pronounced potato then..

On Tuesday, an internal memo sent by Huffman seemed to minimize the protest and its potential impact on the company. “There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen,” the note read. “Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.”

Wait...I thought it was a vocal minority. I mean i get its not a mutually exclusive argument, but still...

The note at the end is also interesting. They are basically starting with allowing a lower mod to "disagree with closure" and takeover as top mod before they scuttle an entire mod team and install their own scabs.
