I wish pg would call up Huffman and try to convince him that this is a bad bet regardless of whether they win.

They’ll survive. But no one will love them anymore. I was still a fan of Reddit as a platform till the moment Huffman lied about Apollo’s developer for no reason whatsoever.

That goodwill is hard to earn. And although goodwill isn’t convertible to dollars directly, it tends to affect trajectory over the long term. See freenode’s dramatic decline, among many other examples.

I thought tildes was supposedly a Reddit alternative. I guess they never caught on.
