Remember when Ellen Pao was the worst thing to ever happen to the world and was killing reddit with her… rules against revenge porn and blatant hate boards?
Remember how reddit “capitulated” and did what the community wanted and got rid of her? Hmm, who was it they replaced her with?
Reddit is preparing for an IPO and likely a buyout. The absolute best way the new owners can “win” is to solve all problems by getting rid of the current evil CEO, maybe rolling back one of the dozens of horrifically bad policy changes, and then calling it a win. Huffman gets a golden parachute and reddit is super happy and wonderful again.
If you are naive confident enough that a call for action will be listened to: Call for action regarding policies, not figureheads.
