A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

For a public spokesperson, this is such a hostile and condescending response:

Asked if Reddit could confirm the reinstatement, Rathschmidt declined, saying, “I’m not going to set a precedent of confirming with The Verge every action we do or don’t take to ensure users can access their communities.”

I quite enjoyed reading that quote. You can practically see the columnist rolling their eyes. Does this spokesperson not understand how to say "no comment"?

That is a very strange reply, you'd think reddit would have the standard answers figured out lol. Especially for a company that wants to go public you'd expect spokespersons who give the "we are committed to our communities and their interests" answers.

In their legendary AMA, those answers were clearly something they didn’t come up with on the spot.

He's just taking cues from the hostile behaviors he has seen at the top over there...

I hope The Verge keeps tearing them a new one.
