Default Misogynists Force Out Female Reddit CEO

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/11/te...?smid=fb-share

“The attacks were worse on Ellen because she is a woman,” said Sam Altman, a member of the Reddit board. “And that’s just a shame against humanity.”

thanks for the link. i love when people post news stories without adding any commentary. it's a huge part of why the p1999 forums are my go-to source for breaking news.

Can't tell if OP is sarcastic or serious.

For the uninformed mongoloids: redditors were pissed because Chairman Pao fired a community manager... a female community manager.

Not exactly. It was a culmination of how the site has been functioning recently and this tipped different subs to turning everything private. There had been select censorship, lack of community outreach from the actual owners of reddit to the moderators. Many mods were using third party software to be able to keep their subs functional, for example.

Here's the juicy, in depth drama: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoo...f_other_large/

Quote:
As much as Victoria is loved, this reaction is not all a result of her departure: there is a feeling among many of the moderators of reddit that the admins do not respect the work that is put in by the thousands of unpaid volunteers who maintain the communities of the 9,656 active subreddits, which they feel is expressed by, among other things, the lack of communication between them and the admins, and their disregard of the thousands of mods who keep reddit's communities going.
