I can picture her in her office "Yes, people are going to be upset, but where else are they going to find funny pictures on the internet?"

Expect a law suit for invoking that name along with an out-of-court settlement offer if you'd like to bypass said lawsuit.

Maybe we are looking at this wrong? Maybe Ms Pao has insights we don't? At the very least, she just solved the age old problem of Reddit having to fix their server capacity issues. She just caused an exodus that straight up took www.voat.co down.

Congratulations, you just destroyed Camelot. Free speech was a pedestal which Reddit stood on. You and the others influencing your decisions are too invested in yourselves to shepherd this community.

Been a redditor through more than 30 account delete cycles. I was here for the original exodus. This right here, this annoys the shit out of me. For the first time in years I'm looking for somewhere new to call home.

Though to be fair, digg never had 1/100 of the freedom reddit has.

I just realized that I never really knew why we all left digg. I showed up one day and everyone was leaving so I kinda just slipped into the crowd
