    The drama must go on...

    This doesn't look good for reddit, engineers are usually not the whiny kind of people. She must really feel that the goals are not attainable in a reasonable time frame.

      Until the past month or so I was of the mindset that reddit was a really good site and the admins are just not very good at making decisions that please the userbase. Lately I'm pretty convinced that the admins are actively running the site into the ground. rip reddit

        It's the move to San Francisco.

        Yishan gave a deadline of two weeks to everyone save a handful (including Victoria) to decide if they wanted to relocate to San Francisco. It was leaked to DHH who publicly crucified Yishan for it. Reddit obviously got wind of DHH's article and piled on some pressure on Yishan who extended a grace period up to the end of the year (3 months).

        Most of reddit's employees quit. This means that reddit is now staffed by people who don't know reddit much.

      True. The drama just keeps poring in... I wouldn't be surprised if redditors forget about it in a month and move on to another topic

        I just wish Snapzu users would stop talking about Reddit.

          Unfortunately it is very big current news among people who use content aggregator websites and you are using a content aggregator website. It would be like a Mac user not acknowledging major changes with Microsoft. They affect each other dramatically and you are choosing ignorance if you think otherwise.

            Plus, it's an opportunity to learn from other's mistakes.

        Forget about the drama, or Reddit?

        Because I'm well on my way to the latter at this point.
