Reddit is used to brawls between its 57 million daily users. Now its keyboard warriors are directing their ire at its CEO, Steve Huffman. Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s so-called subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature.
There’s a certain schadenfreude in seeing the outcome of spez’s misguided choices. I’m still very sad about Reddit. For me, RIF was Reddit.
