The part of the memo where Steve talks about wearing Reddit swag out on town really hit. Like, we love Reddit, but hate you, not your employees. Why would users want to harm Reddit employees?

I mean, it's not unfathomable, but it wasn't imperative to mention it as it only serves to stoke fear among his employees and tries to frame this as an "us against them" thing.

Why would users want to harm Reddit employees?

Realistically, because some people are dumb. It's the same reason people harass actors for playing characters they don't like.
