>Bad communication. - they fire Victoria without telling IAMA moderators
I asked for things that were already "on the camel's back".
>Mods feel like they are volunteering for a for-profit company yet treated poorly.
They are volunteering for a for-profit company. What are some specific concrete examples of mods being treated poorly? I'm a mod of two subreddits (20k and 8k subscribers) and I've never once been "treated poorly".
>Recent top-down decisions that aren't the "reddit way". - banning of "hateful" subreddits such as /r/FatPeopleHate
Who gets to decide what "the reddit way" actually is? My reddit account is nearly seven years old now and I say "good riddance".
>A temporary(?) CEO who doesn't seem to "get" reddit, or at least is not the right person for the job. - that is very specific and concrete
That's laughable: it's not specific or concrete at all. It's an unsubstantiated, open-ended subjective opinion.

reddit admins used to say that they would never ban content as long as it was legal. Well /r/jailbait was technically legal, but they banned it. Then came FatPeopleHate and others. Some people think hardcore freedom of speech was the reddit way. It is no longer. Of course it's hard for a rational person to defend leaving those up, but it's just how some people feel about free speech.
Oh and then Pao used the phrase "safe spaces" which is a total shift from their previous stance.
