Re:Tell HN: Triplebyte reverses, emails apology by TomVDB on Monday May 25, 2020 @07:14PM (#23305873)
Check out the original HN topic.

It would be one thing if he apologized immediately after people pointed out the flaws in their plan.

But he didn’t.

He ignored all the objections, and defended his decision over and over again.

He clearly didn’t care.

There is huge difference between “whoops, we didn’t think things through, sorry about that” and “after seeing tons of people cancel their account, let’s pretend that I’m now truly sorry.” Especially when he had a history of building shitty social networks.

Yeah it kind of feels like the reversal came only after hundreds? of people deleted their accounts.
