@mlnews Better still, it all looks to be a sham (hiring Pao)
I'm thoroughly disappointed in the whole thing and future direction.
I need to make my own reddit, with liquor and ..... bender quotes!

The biggest issue here is democratization. One of the downfalls of any democratic system is that the people making the noise and demanding action are the ones that don't have the inside information, don't know what really happened and have no means of knowing if they are voting for or against what they actually want. Democratization here led the people to stop thinking at the goal level and get caught up in a detail that they didn't understand and so wanted to vote for one thing and instead ended up voting against themselves because they didn't maintain goal level thinking.
Same as how the poor voted for the bank regulations that quite obviously would only hurt... the poor. They didn't demand that banks work better for the poor (goal level) they tried to decide how best to do that which backfired and they voted, nay demanded, that banks be regulated in such a way as to force the profits away from the poor to the rich. It was insane. Yet, here we are. (Where poor = people who earn under $250K.)

@scottalanmiller blaming the users of Reddit (while very tempting and occasionally deserved) for this lack of clear communication from the community's leaders makes zero sense

Today's the day that they announce which subs they are banning - gonna be lots of popcorn flying everywhere
