This sounds very much like you're only admitting that you screwed up by not communicating your bad decisions to mods.

The real things that piss everyone off are:

Censorship. Users get shadowbanned for clearly stupid reasons. One of them was banned for replying to one of your comments. Subreddits get banned for brigading when they clearly aren't. Many could argue that fatpeoplehate didn't stop brigading, but what about all the subreddits inspired by fph that promise to ban brigading that also got banned. I see a cowardly administration with the "ban first and ask questions later" attitude.
Eliminating Victoria's position. Notice I am not complaining about the firing of Victoria herself. I agree that you can't talk about employees, but you certainly can address concerns about how celebrity AMAs will happen without this position. For all we know, Victoria was fired and deserved to be. Fine, but where is her replacement?

You're apologizing for things that are secondary to our main concerns and basically saying you're going to keep making bad decisions.

If people who made these decisions are left in charge I don't see anything improving. Reddit needs at least few new admins that care about the community but I don't see that happening, all they are doing now is damage control.

Exactly! Conflate several different things, address the least important thing(s), then tell us everything is fixed!

Let's not forget uneven censorship as well, such as the fact that shitredditsays still exists, brigades, brags about it, and still exists

Here's proof they brigaded.

But anyways, those clone subs got banned immediately because they used the sidebar images of the Imgur CEOs, which was the harassment which got em banned in the first place.

Plus, they were "ban evading". After all, if the ban can be reversed in a matter of seconds, what's the point?

This uprising has been completely hijacked by the moderators. Nobody gives a shit about muh better mod tools and improved brigading statistics.

In that they literally had information on how to harass targets on the sidebar of their subreddit? Yeah, I'd say that qualifies.
