Reddit's userbase seems to feel especially threatened by Ellen Pao, and it's hard for me to believe that the difference is anything rational.
Well, she has basically said that she wants to start cleaning up the "objectionable" sides of reddit. Plus, there is a strong sentiment that content that's critical of her (even the less hateful stuff) has been removed often in the past.
- mintplant 11y agoI've seen plenty of these claims but far less in the way of actual removed content. My sense is that this is largely a myth used to stir up outrage.
- djf1 11y agoIt's a bit harder to link to this type of stuff because by definition its been removed, but for example, this sub has been banned today: https://np.reddit.com/r/paoiskillingreddit https://np.reddit.com/r/paoiskillingreddit here's a thread regarding a joke removed about two weeks ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/378smw/a_joke_making_fun_of_reddit_ceo_ellen_pao_is/ https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/378smw/a_jo...

- freebsdgirl 11y agoJust because the volume of hate has been turned up to 11 does not in any way mean that the majority of Reddit users feel this way, and this is something that many people seem to be forgetting. Take a look and see how much reddit gold has been gifted recently. Reddit is doing just fine.
