Reddit fired one of their staff, a beloved member who was their public relations arm and responsible for some great changes to the site including the AMA (ask me anything) subreddit
since the termination yesterday they have started melting down, mods have deleted many of the subreddits to try and stop the vandalism or possibly in protest, currently many of the larger ones having as many as 4 million subscribers have been dumped
/r/Iama (8,521,238 subscribers)
/r/science (8,595,726 subscribers)
/r/BlackPeopleTwitter (401,375 subscribers)
/r/netsec (134,403 subscribers)
/r/onoff (168,990 subscribers)

Lol@ reading this being posted in The Pub on the Shroomery.
Anyways, it already appears to be blowing over since nobody else currently has the ability to take over. Voat.co is trying but can't handle the server overload and Paypal froze all of their donation money. Realistically Reddit isn't going anywhere for a while.

Reddit's like a shittier, edgier, pg13 version of 4chan.
4chan died a long time ago though, as soon as moot sold it and they ACTUALLY started to moderate it instead of pretending to moderate it.
Reddit was never good, no tears from me.

reddit is like the indoor swapmeet of the internet. at first glance, lots of shiny cool looking stuff, but in reality mostly cheap bootleg stuff made in china that breaks in like the first couple of days. no bueno.

Depends on what subreddits you read. The sad thing thing is a lot of the threads that get made in here are just reposts from Reddit.

When I first discovered reddit in app form I wasted a good couple months of my life to it. It had its moments.

4chan was born from the english site b3ta, reddit spawned from 4chan and imgur came from reddit
reddit does have some good content, loads of funny shit and some really crappy stuff but the layout is shitty for navigation

Can you ban yourself? Because you should, for science or whatever.
Not that I have a problem with you, I just think it'd be funny.

The real question is, could he overturn his own ban.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

It's not just a dick pic. It's also showing the aliens "tits or gtfo". Pretty much sums up humans these days. Dick pics and the expectation of tits.

CEO Ellen Pao.

She's the person responsible for Victoria Taylor's termination. The trigger for this action was an AMA with Rev. Jesse Jackson. Reddit users are typically much better informed than the anchors of MSM networks so the questions were pretty tough. Jackson got called out for what he really is. The top question stated Jackson is “an immoral, hate-filled race baiter that has figured out how to manipulate the political system for your own gain.” Jackson was not prepared for hard questions and the AMA went badly, according to Pao. So Ms. Taylor was the scapegoat. You decide for yourself if her firing was justified. This may be the end of Chairman Pao's (what reddit calls her now) tenure as CEO. She recently raised controversy by shutting down some of the less politically correct subreddits.

Just would like to point out that PAO is one of those extreme SJWs I'm always ranting about. Who is pretty much single handedly destroying reddit.
On a completely unrelated note
