This response from Reddit is absolutely insane.
"According to Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt, “We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.”
Just pure rage behind that mask. I honestly think the coverage of the protests is causing direct harm.
Doesn't that verbiage also suggest that what the Verge is reporting is absolutely correct, and Reddit will only comment if they report something that isn't happening?
Yes, they call that out in the article in a very "fuck you" way...
"In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary."
