Oddly, that was Spez, and when he went away for a bit, Reddit got really good. And then he came back and it went to shit.

Right I remember how Reddit ran Ellen Pao off as if she was the wicked witch of the west.

I think that was part of Gamer Gate. The toxic rightwing backlash to women existing on the internet, and not in porn. It was the exact same time period.

I suppose it was around then yeah, I just remember being amazed at how fast the whole site turned on her, then I realized how easy it must be to astroturf reddit. It was under the guise of free speech, but the changes she made/were making were positive for the health of the site. The whole idea that free speech = I can say whatever the hell I want to at any time and you just have to accept it was/is bullshit, we live in a society dammit. /george
