It's clear that they need to get in front of this now and not be reacting to every fire that breaks out. Alexis and Ellen need to sticky a post to the front page that lays out an apology and a come-to-Jesus for the future of the site.
The gist of this post should be the following:
- Sorry we fucked up by not working through important changes with our valued community of mods and readers.
- We decided to let go of Victoria because we believe that in order to survive and thrive as a for-profit company, we need to take AMAs in a direction that she was against. This includes sponsored AMAs and new formats like video AMAs that take advantage of how people prefer to consume content on mobile devices.
- The rules and banning of certain sub-reddits is in response to irresponsible doxxing behavior and not because we wanted to quelch free speech.
- As reddit grows, in order to pay for the costs to run this business and accomplish the goals our founders and owners agreed upon as part of our last round of funding, we will need to make some hard choices which will involve finding a balance between keeping the reddit spirit alive AND making money.
- If you don't think these changes suit your taste, you're welcome to build communities elsewhere.
