    For a public spokesperson, this is such a hostile and condescending response:

    Asked if Reddit could confirm the reinstatement, Rathschmidt declined, saying, “I’m not going to set a precedent of confirming with The Verge every action we do or don’t take to ensure users can access their communities.”

      I quite enjoyed reading that quote. You can practically see the columnist rolling their eyes. Does this spokesperson not understand how to say “no comment”?

      That is a very strange reply, you’d think reddit would have the standard answers figured out lol. Especially for a company that wants to go public you’d expect spokespersons who give the “we are committed to our communities and their interests” answers.
