“The attacks were worse on Ellen because she is a woman,” said Sam Altman, a member of the Reddit board. “And that’s just a shame against humanity.”

thanks for the link. i love when people post news stories without adding any commentary. it's a huge part of why the p1999 forums are my go-to source for breaking news.

Here's my commentary: lol reddit

Can't tell if OP is sarcastic or serious.

For the uninformed mongoloids: redditors were pissed because Chairman Pao fired a community manager... a female community manager.

Not exactly. It was a culmination of how the site has been functioning recently and this tipped different subs to turning everything private. There had been select censorship, lack of community outreach from the actual owners of reddit to the moderators. Many mods were using third party software to be able to keep their subs functional, for example.
