By what definition of 'whistleblower'?

I think that's very short-sighted. The moderators represent and manage a good portion of the content creators that draw users to reddit.

They shut down AMAs because they were left hanging with several upcoming high-profile guests. The person that had arranged and managed guests in the past was suddenly gone, and there was no communication from Reddit as to what the transition plan was.

Personally, I don't think that's unreasonable at all.
