Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

This is really fun to watch.

Re: Reddit is imploding

What's happening?

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

The company unceremoniously canned the woman who was responsible for AMAs, didn't tell the mods at IAmA, and didn't have any sort of backup or replacement for her at the ready. An AMA that was in active progress actually got cut off and crashed because of it. IAmA's mods, unsure what to do and lacking any contact information for any of the other people scheduled to do AMAs that day, hastily made the sub private.

There's apparently been a bunch of problems with reddit admin not communicating or working with mods, and this was the last straw. At one point, something like 250 subs had "gone dark" either because they also host AMAs or in solidarity. News outlets started reporting on it (including the BBC). And people are scrambling to find alternative sites.

It's AMAZING.

I swear everything, everything, is 5th more entertaining over there right now.

Long story short, one of the staff, Victoria Taylor aka Chooter, has been instrumental in running the AMAs, which are Reddit's biggest draw, a major PR coup for celebs who participate, and easily one of the most positive things Reddit does. She coordinates, helps less computer/Reddit-literate celebs over the phone or in person, makes sure it's actually the celeb and not their agent or whoever, and so on. She's one of the most important people on Reddit staff.

Until they fired her without warning or notice, leaving r/IAmA in the lurch as they had several AMAs scheduled for that day and without her there it was impossible. IAmA went private (effectively shutting down) for the day because of it, and several other major subreddits, like r/science and r/books and r/askreddit, did the same out of solidarity because of a long history of abuse and neglect by Reddit admins who take their unpaid subreddit mods (who number in the thousands) for granted and have yet to update the site's mod tools or basically do anything to make Reddit more usable. (I half suspect that a lot of why certain really awful subreddits like fatpeoplehate were left to fester instead of being banned is because the admin are lazy bastards.)

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

Actually they were left to fester because the admins don't give a shit about hateful subreddits unless they're involved in brigading, doxxing, or otherwise bring them bad publicity. And probably laziness.

Re: Reddit is imploding

[dethtoll]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Unless it could cost them their job or cause legal issues, they simply can't be bothered.

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

Was it true that the company intended to turn the AMAs into "PR shilling", so the speak, with prescreened questions and everything -> and she had a problem with that -> she got canned?

If you want the really long explanation, there it is. Otherwise, read the tl;dr summary that Dethtoll wrote up.

Re: Reddit is imploding

What really blows my mind is that they're angry on behalf of a woman. I know reddit isn't this massive hivemind entity where everyone hates women, but still. Reddit, you guys.

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

It's quite ironic.

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

That surprised me, too.

I expected a lot more illogical hatred directed at her. A bit more: "HOW DARE SHE GET FIRED!"

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

I'm fucking loving it. There's hope!

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah the thought did cross my mind. Then again she did have a significant role and seems to have been well liked so....

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

It's not. It's just a gamergate style organised revolt against Ellen Pao,

It's a misogynist backlash and its not funny.

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

You don't have a clue what this is actually about, do you? Or does it not matter what happens -- since Ellen Pao's a woman, you'll interpret any dissatisfaction as misogyny?

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

Shhhhhh.

Re: Reddit is imploding

[(Anonymous)]

Oh fuck no. Don't ruin this. Gamer gate was a misogynistic cluster fuck this is just a cluster fuck of incompetence and arrogance. The martyr of this who the community is frothing behind is Victoria aka u/chooter.

Re: Reddit is imploding

Read the comment above yours. Or any about this really.

"Not really. To be honest, the only reason Ellen was made CEO was because Yishan has unexpectedly left reddit. Yishan, I believe, had Ellen step up as interim CEO just until they were able to find a more qualified one. Eventually, though, Ellen just stayed CEO.
When someone at our company meeting someone bluntly asked "You stated you were the interim CEO and that reddit was looking for one to replace Yishan. Are we still looking for a new CEO, and if not, why should we trust you to do the job?"
She literally responded with "You'll have to pry this position from my cold, dead hands!!!" which was met with applause. To be totally honest, I just sat there dumbfounded. It was one of the most non-answers I had ever heard."
