This is a really strange to roll out such a major announcement if they wanted actual community participation.
Why not list out the proposed changes in this announcement and then discuss them during the AMA after people have had some time to think?
Instead there's going to be two entire days of speculation followed by an AMA regarding content people are just seeing for the first time. Unless Huffman spends the entire day in the AMA I can't see it being a very productive discussion. Perhaps that's the point...
People issuing complaints and suggestions now gives them the ability to read them and form arguments for them or reasons why they need to throw them out. It is a fact finding mission. They really don't want to be caught too off guard for the AMA.
I've seen some stuff about them trying to pull down videos from 2005 where the current/new CEO says the same thing about it being a bastion of free speech. I think they'll do everything in their power to deny deny deny those things were said.

Good point. I'm curious to see if they have anything to say about Alexis' comment from 2012. I'm sure it'll be one of the top-rated questions.
It's disappointing to see reddit's "leadership" act like such poor leaders.
