Yeah it’s hard to reconcile that discussion and this apology. That is unless they were hemorrhaging users after that email hit and reversed course because of that. I like the idea of triplebyte but I’m a bit hesitant now. Perhaps this is the blindness that people in privileged positions in life can’t see... similar to the real name policy on google that caused a problem for the people that didn’t want their identities tied to it. Gay people that weren’t out of the closet yet or gay people in countries with laws against that or people escaping abusive exes/stalkers etc.

Hopefully this reflection is sincere.
