Seems like putting out a public statement downplaying the situation like this is just going to encourage further protest.
Edit: just realized it was addressed to employees, but he had to know it would become public.

I don't think anyone would care about someone wearing reddit gear but who the hell was doing that in the first place?
I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public.
Lol, good ole fearmongering. Also,
The only long term solution is improving our product
Loading shit with ads is hardly improving it. I mean it will make you more money, and thats all that matters under this shitty system of ours, but thats still not improving.
I do miss the niche communities and educational ones on Reddit, but Lemmy is great so far.
In conversation with a few others? At the prices they were talking about no one will use it. It was something like hundreds of dollars per year per user to reddit.
Well he threw us the gauntlet. Let's pick it up.
Reddit is going to be a ghost town in a few months at this rate. If they wanted to push the website and app so hard, why not just make using a client a premium feature and charge for it? Give the users the option. Instead they had to go the worst route possible with this.
So tone deaf
This whole statement strikes me as tone-deaf. They want to "ship" the product, but the product is just removing accessibility. It literally makes the platform worse.
Not going back to reddit. I'll manage without it.
