Really interesting read to see some of their viewpoints. What bothered me the most about the whole thing is that it really had Pao written all over the decisions. When you look at her comments about free speech, the fact that there are a lot of subreddits that should have been taken down along with the original 5, and that any comments surrounding her/her husband and their court cases leads to shadow bans, it seems pretty obvious she is taking control of the site. The purpose of community based anything is to allow the members influence how things are managed and decided (to an extent of course). As soon as that is taken away (like what happened here), all hell is going to break loose.
