I read their answers in the discussion here and it felt a lot like:

I'm sorry that you...

That might have been another bad day at work but whatever it was it really doesn't inspire confidence



Yeah it’s hard to reconcile that discussion and this apology. That is unless they were hemorrhaging users after that email hit and reversed course because of that. I like the idea of triplebyte but I’m a bit hesitant now. Perhaps this is the blindness that people in privileged positions in life can’t see... similar to the real name policy on google that caused a problem for the people that didn’t want their identities tied to it. Gay people that weren’t out of the closet yet or gay people in countries with laws against that or people escaping abusive exes/stalkers etc.

Hopefully this reflection is sincere.

Yep, and that privilege may take many forms.

- Secure, well paid job.

- Friends in high places.

- Correct opinions for your area.

etc
