Is this a PR stunt by Include? I read ycombinator religiously and I have never heard of this organization?

That's too bad. I heard about it quite a while ago. I assume that projects like this just don't get much traction on HN.

It was posted to HN 167 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=projectinclude.org

Transparently. Pao ruined Reddit, now she clings to identity politics as her only way out of infamy. Little does she realize how deep she's digging.

By being bad at her job as CEO through having no idea what redditors wanted of the site and by trying to force particular cultural norms.

Was reddit ruined? About as much as anything so abstract that it can reinvent itself, back peddle, and change direction at a board meetings notice can be ruined.

I have just heard of Project Include right now but they just dis-included themselves. Logical thinking would have them ask themselves if in 10 years doing this has a positive or negative impact. I believe that they just made themselves irrelevant for some notoriety.
