Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.
According to Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt, “We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.”
So, this part, at the bottom of the article, tells me everything I need to know. Reddit is going to keep chugging along with their ridiculous plan.
It's worth going back and verifying that it stuck. There have been a ton of reports of people thinking they wiped their accounts, and then checking the next day, only to see that Reddit restored like half of them.
