minus-squareSingletona@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoYea that’s my takeaway here. To the point given how u/spez has behaved it wouldn’t surprise me if he hired these guys to ‘hack’ him specifically to smear protests. Then again I’m paranoid so what do I know?
minus-squaresquirrel@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThe hack happened in February, long before the protests.
minus-squareZuberi@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoCorrect. They said they would hold on to the info and wait for reddit’s IPO. The info must have informed them that reddit is intentionally tanking to take down gme subreddits. They know releasing it into their IPO will tank the company so thd threat now of all times makes sense.
