Well, the AMA was a shining success…

The way that guy gaslit the Appolo dev, and doubles down that the Appolo dev is the bad guy. Even though the recording is clear that the reddit ceo is straight up lying. Imaging working with, or having to interact with someone who so easily lies like that. Shameless

It’s hilarious really. Christian has the fucking receipts. Spez can say what he wants, but it’s meaningless drivel.

Also, I just looked into the AMA and....he only gave 14 answers 🙄

[-] AbelianGrape@beehaw.org 21 points 1 year ago

To their credit, there were other admins too!

Collectively, they ~~answered~~ responded to a whopping additional 5 comments!

I may miss the community, but I definitely won't miss reddit.

The answers were all copy & paste canned ones. No wonder

It is hilarious to see this happening. Option A, he could have just shut up, released a press statement and waited till this blew over, he didn't do that. Option B would have been to do an AMA, engage with people and say nice but meaningless things to placate people and do whatever he wants in private, he didn't do that either.

Instead he choses to host an AMA, copy pastes canned responses, edits his comment when someone caught it, ditches the canned response when a question is asked about the Apollo thing and doubles down, and finally leaves after answering 14 questions.

You really can't make this shit up 🤣

Did they ever publish the starting time, or did it just start? It seemed to have happened while I was asleep. Not that I'd have stayed up for it ha.
