I think it's more like a "haters gonna hate" type of comment. Whatever kn0thing says, it won't be good enough to placate the masses with their pitchforks so the best thing to do is sit back and wait till it all blows over. Generally, reddit has very short term institutional memory, by next week new users and admins will be like "Victoria who?!"


Didn't people say similar things about Digg's short-term collective memory right before their ... "mishap"?


I'd say people who think Diggs change was anything similar to the current reddit changes has a very short memory.


Nature of the changes != collective memory span of the community.


Nature of the changes is what made Diggs mishap matter. The attention span didn't matter because people were gone before they stopped caring.


Seems very tone deaf. He had to know saying something like that would only stoke things more.
