Do you have a link to that? Ive been looking. I can only find Christian's account of the events [1]
> one-party consent state, so he was fully in his right to do everything he did
And I fully support his decision to do so. Ive even done the same in Japan when I was against a very hostile CEO. But posting publicly moves into very different realms (also not illegal) outside of just recording discussions.
> as you keep implying
In fact, I dont. I keep acknowledging blame on both sides of the equation. Go back and objectively read the discussion. Ive been much more critical of reddit. Emotions are pretty high. And those are much easier to use in discussions than deferring to unknown facts. So, I understand the weird flip-flopping of down and up votes.

It really does not, even if it hurts spez's (and your) feelings.
> Ive been much more critical of reddit.
You literally pretend things they did didn't happen. You can say you've been critical, but you have pretty much shifted the blame entirely on Christian the whole time.
Are you kidding? Christian posted in public to reddit about his failed negotiations. That was definitely a scorch the earth policy. reddit and/or spez had not posted about Apollo prior to that.
> Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million.
> Prices we released work out to one dollar a month per user; if Apollo doesn’t put effort forth, it hits three dollars per month.
> (As mentioned in Mod Tool section above) Pushshift will come back online for mod tools within a week or two.

Are you kidding? It took literal seconds to find.
But I admit it’s an important one. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it pop up on popular last week.
Private meetings aren’t private after the CEO posts a completely mischaracterized version of said meeting already. Canada is also a one-party consent state, so he was fully in his right to do everything he did.
> I can't expect much of a relationship with reddit to survive after the fact.
It’s funny that this is the straw that caused you to think the relationship was over, and not the obvious and easily disproven libel that the CEO kept doubling down on.
Anyone that looked at the situation objectively could see who was clearly in the wrong, and it wasn’t Christian as you keep implying. Reddit completely torpedoed their relationship at every single turn and at this point has quadrupled down on it.
