He now blames[1] Apollo's author for saying other things in private and in public and "leaking" the phone call recording proving Huffman's lying, which - the developer mentioned at least twice - is legal in Canada where he lives.
Sucks that I don't have popcorn at hand.

- Rebelgecko 3y agoWhat are the odds that Spez replies to the response the Apollo dev left under that?
- HaroldBolt78 3y agoHe could always covertly edit their comments if he's upset that people don't have the right opinions. It wouldn't be the first time.

- mustacheemperor 3y agoWhat is this guy's issue? Why does he keep saying and doing pointless things that are self-destructive and risky to him and the business? How has reddit let this situation run so completely out of their control? Divorcing entirely from the subject of the strategy change, the decision to execute it in this manner seems incomprehensible unless they truly do want to completely drive away as many of the users who even know about this change as possible. Maybe we are so ignorant of Reddit's real user metrics that they consider almost everyone reading that AMA to be a money drain.
- ink_13 3y agoHe seems to be attempting to use a technique known as DARVO ("deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender") to smear the Apollo dev. This happens sometimes when people who know they've done something wrong are held accountable.

- toomuchtodo 3y agoBroadly speaking, if you don’t want the public to know you’re a liar, simply don’t lie. Otherwise, you have no one else to blame but yourself when the public is shown the person you are. One could argue Huffman’s actions in this regard have been deeply unprofessional, as well as operating blatantly from a place of bad faith. Savvy negotiation is distinct from lying and pleading extortion.
