Are you sure you know what happened? Because all I saw was Pao being lauded as a hero for standing up to supposed misogyny, when the community was upset about how they fired a female community coordinator on top of bringing in other harsh censorship tools like quarantining.

The politics of Reddit don't really touch most subreddits. Most people are there to talk about their interests and passions.

What about how Ellen Pao treated Reddit? She threw the first punch.
