> A number of Snoos have been working around the clock, adapting to infrastructure strains, engaging with communities, and responding to the myriad of issues related to this blackout

I find a CEO referring to their employees as 'Snoos' to be offputting personally.

I'm sure it's meant to be a fun and inclusive term but the guy is sending out a pretty serious email that ends in, "I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations."

The tone strikes me as weird for this message and I feel like the term 'Snoo' is infantizing at best?

Maybe I'm alone, it just feels super weird to hear that coming from someone with the title of CEO at a company of more than 100 people

It reminds me of that movie Spy Kids where the villain kidnaps people and turns them into these teletubby like creatures.

Looking back, that was kind of some heavy body horror for a kids movie.

But yeah, “Snoo” is easily the worst tech company name for their employees I’ve heard. I had no idea Reddit had an internal name for their employees. This is way worse than “meta mates” or whatever Zuckerberg ended up coming up with.
