I haven't listened to the audio recording per se but that was my understanding, too, by reading this guy's written description of what happened.
Him and Spez (or whatever his name is) got together in a tense meeting on two opposing sides, there was a failure of communication (like in many such cases), things escalated for a bit after that but, in the end, I see that Spez recognised that he had understood things in an incorrect manner. That is I see no deliberate "lying" coming from the reddit CEO.
- wpietri 3y agoI believe the referenced "lying" is not in the call, but when afterwards he claimed internally that the incorrect understanding was the true one.

An employee of Reddit itself affirmed that he said it in a summary of the call they posted to a (private) sub of high-level moderators, replicated here: https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/143rk5p/reddit_held_a_call_today_with_some_developers/jnbjtsc/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/143rk5p/reddit_he... (The summary in the main thread was written by members of the community on the call, the comment I linked is Reddit’s own summary.) Reddit has also repeated the same claim off-the-record to multiple journalists.
- paganel 3y agoGot it, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, that is very similar to lying.
