      Right, which is why I can understand it as a “just in case…” type thing, but I really haven’t seen anyone all that upset about it, not to the point where they’re threatening violence against Reddit staff (which wouldn’t make sense anyways, since this is clearly a decision made by the executives, and not regular employees).

      Strange times.

        Oh, you just don’t know the right crazy people.

        A quote from someone I know irl, “he’s lucky I don’t live there. I would find him and curb stomp his albino hamster looking ass”.

        But even the craziest people I know haven’t suggested that kind of thing about employees.

      It’s not like he was nice to a Trans person once. They probably won’t get bomb threats.
