      Yeah kind of, but the CEO needs to learn that not everyone will like their products, you cant convince everyone.

      The person said that they dont want to engage with the discussion, then the CEO should have just let it be.

        This is the second CEO to be a weirdo to a random person in the past month. First it was the Tumblr CEO, now it’s the Kagi one.

        Kagi was already in hot water for ignoring its paying customers’ previous complaints, so this whole “I really want to know your opinion, we are a human first company!” thing really sounds disingenuous after the same CEO overruled away all criticism or tried shuffling it away from public channels and onto his much more closed-off Discord.

            The Tumblr (and WordPress and Automattic) CEO, Matt Mullenweg, banned somebody for life over apparently “explicit” Tumblr content, and that got backlash from the LGBT community.

            Instead of shaking it off like an adult,

            • Matt (allegedly) DMed dozens of people,
            • followed the Tumblr user to Twitter to argue there too
            • complained that the Tumblr user had other edgy/explicit usernames

            This man’s platform (Wordpress) powers most of the internet and he’s worried about catgirlballsack on Tumblr.
