Just to be fair, and I'm not advocating for that shitbag, it takes a single prick with a brick to smack someone across the head. It's just numbers game - there's a lot of people exposed to the situation and not all of them are well in their heads.

I mean have you seen any of those Karen videos? Not a pleasant experience to be on receiving end. So yeah, idk if the leak was intentional (it feels like it) but considering the situation I would have also been cautious if I were a reddit employee.

I don't think that's fair in this case. That's definitely a valid train of thought in the face or receiving online death threats - almost all of these could be assumed to be fake, but it only takes one real one - but here Steve Huffman isn't referring to any specific threats to reddit staff and is instead just shit stirring.
