Did he just try to make it sound like Reddit employees are victims of hate crimes?? LMAO

I have to imagine he thinks people hate Reddit for some irrational unfathomable reasons, rather than just him and the other executives for their actual behavior.

I mean that was probably good advice tbh

It 100% is. As a customer service manager for a software company, I can say - you wouldn't believe some of the threats we get, just while operating normally, and people are pissed about this.

I wouldn’t do anything to them, but I’d definitely deny them service if I found a reddit employee in the wild.

"Hi, I'm sorry, but we charge an extra api fee for reddit employees"

"You have an api for a coffee shop"

"Yeah, its the Asshole Prevention Insurance, since the ceo is a giant, gaping asshole that likes to spew his filth all over things, and we want insurance that nobody from there does the same thing."
