Steve.... Why are you moderator for /r/cannibals ?
edit: well, this blew up and I can be happy about gold again! Thanks!

[–]intellos 1803ポイント1804ポイント  (55子コメント)

For a long time a subreddit could declare any user a moderator, without that user having to accept it. Pranks like that are why they added a system where the user has to accept the moderator position.

[–]Growsomedope 250ポイント251ポイント  (38子コメント)

I guess no one bothered to find and delete inappropriate moderators retroactively. There's probably no good way to search for them?

Hey Steve,

We met a long time ago but I’m sure you don’t remember. I created redditgifts and was let go from reddit a month ago. I wonder if you have any intention of keeping redditgifts around in the future?

[–]spez[A] 4456ポイント4457ポイント  (237子コメント)

I not sure. I'm just starting to get to know everyone here and getting a lay of the land.

✓ Straw man to take the blame for unpopular decisions

✓ Present new CEO as the solution everybody wants while probably keeping all the same people making actual decisions

✓ Present news when people are less likely to care

Looks like they passed PR 101 with flying colors.

Even if reddit, Steam, and Netflix were all down, I had just cleaned the entire house, read four chapters of a book, played a quest in Skyrim, two rounds of TF2, finished all work-work, already called my mother, and it's raining outside, and it's Tuesday, you still won't catch me reading a TOS update.

Ok, Hi!

It's Steve. I'm super excited to be back.

It's been a crazy day. I'll be spending the next hour or so in the this thread answering any questions, and then I need to do some serious bonding with the team here.

We've got a lot of work to do. Fortunately, I've got five years of ideas stacked up, and I'm looking forward to getting to work.

edit: taking off for a bit. Lots to do here!

Annoyed, provoked, and piqued with plight,
At shifts and switches, strange -

Appoint interim CEO to introduce unpopular changes until people are dangerously outraged, then have him/her step down for a more popular candidate and everyone is happy. Meanwhile, old mistakes aren't fixed and old policy of gentrification continues.

We'll see what happens but this would be right out of the corporate textbook.

Pao was not the only issue with Reddit, simply the face. Let's make sure we help to change this site for the better.

[–]Gideon_Drake 4433ポイント4434ポイント  (237子コメント)

Holy shit, I found an announcement early. Hi mom!

In all seriousness, anyone could have predicted this would happen. Pao was called an interim CEO for a reason. She made a bunch of unpopular changes and provided a wonderful strawman for everyone to point at and say "we did it, Reddit!" The real question is, are the unpopular decisions she made going to stick around? Are the "progressive" changes promised to the mods actually going to occur?

Edit: FFS everybody, I get it. But I aint changing shit, I'm wondering how many more people will inform me of my poor choice of terms.

[–]TitsAlmighty 5423ポイント5424ポイント x3 (641子コメント)

It sounds like Pao served her role as the interim CEO perfectly. People were supposed to hate her so she could make changes the board of directors wanted that they knew some users would hate. Then the white knight new CEO sweeps in to save the day and everyone is happy. They also promise to continuo Pao's mission to make this a safe place so that should be fun.

[–]Essar 181ポイント182ポイント  (13子コメント)

She definitely got a lot of flack for problems which were not of her own creation; I think she was unlucky with her timing joining reddit, amongst a number of other factors. There was a post somewhere on reddit which predicted the resignation happening in this way - I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: A completely speculative (perhaps slightly conspiratorial), but not out of the question take on the events: https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3c1qc4/meta_monetizing_reddit_and_scapegoating_the_ceo/

If it truly is the intent of Reddit to attempt to monetize user created "features" of the site in what is essentially an "eminent domain" style land grab, then Pao's unpopularity with the user base actually suits them quite well as they can proceed with their changes for now and then pass the blame along to Pao, whom they can then at a later date replace with a "permanent CEO" who will offer a long list of empty platitudes in order to attempt to placate the user base until the status quo has been irrevocably set.

In hindsight, I think it's unlikely the situation because Pao didn't get to do all that much in terms of substantive changes to site operation (not visibly to the userbase at least...). The only notable alteration was the rule change to ban subreddits deemed harassing.

[–]VirtualAnarchy 592ポイント593ポイント  (31子コメント)

I knew Ellen Pao would step down, she was only the face people could punch while the higher ups made unpopular changes to reddit. People saw this coming from a mile away, anyone who considers this a 'victory' needs to look at what is actually changing, which isn't the policies introduced under Pao.

[–]RambleMan 675ポイント676ポイント  (53子コメント)

Welcome back, Steve.

While I doubt we'll ever find out exactly what changes were a direct command from Ellen, the one that I found most curious was demanding all employees move to San Francisco. To me, one of the successes of reddit was how all of these amazingly talented people from across the globe could work together without HAVING to be together. With a global reach for staffing, you're able to have the best team possible, but by demanding geographics, you're limiting yourself to whose willing to move/deal with the cost of living in San Francisco, etc.

I understand that face-to-face working/meeting is different than virtual, but where I work, because of geography, we simply can't be all be in the same place, and that's just the reality of it. There is no way to congregate everyone. We trust everyone to perform their roles, have a reporting process and meet regularly through teleconference and video conference.

When reddit announced/commanded that everyone must move to San Francisco to remain employed I saw that as the end to reddit as it was. Even if everybody moved, you'd have a lot of people who didn't want to and were leaving their homes/families/lives. Having happy employees is more important than a punch clock/physical presence, especially for a virtual company. Yes, there are SOME jobs that should be physically together (the physical servers of reddit are somewhere, so theoretically someone who needs to be switch things on and off needs to be near them), but reddit functions 24/7, so having people spread across the globe/time zones would benefit the operation.

I know this isn't an AMA, but I'm curious whether you, Steve, are going to step back and evaluate all of reddit and consider making big moves that may look like going backwards, because that worked.

I also appreciate that we don't/can't know why /u/chooter was terminated, but if the rumours of her disagreeing with the changes of her role are the root cause, I would hope that you'd be open enough to consider that someone whose been in the role should be listened to for their opinions. I'm not suggesting you hire /u/chooter back, but if the reason for her termination was a disagreement with someone who has now stepped down as CEO, it would mean a lot to the users if /u/chooter was given the option to return - let her decide. If I was Victoria, I'd consider it, but I'd be wanting a firm personal employment contract that protects me from termination without severance unless I was stealing from the company or something. You pay people to be good at what they do and think/contribute, not to be drones and do what you say. If you want drones, fire everyone and outsource overseas.

Another voice seemingly lost in all of this is /u/kickme444 who brought such positive energy and commitment to the reddit userbase. Truly, the reason I created my account and stopped lurking was to be part of the first Secret Santa. If you check the age of my account, you'll see it was created within days of the first Secret Santa campaign, run out of Dan's home, for free, all to bring some joy to the world. Again, I doubt we'll know why Dan was terminated, but seeing that reddit killed the store connected to redditgifts, which presumably was a source of income, I can only guess that reddit Inc. was cutting ties with anybody who didn't agree 100% with what they were being told to do. Same as my comment above - Dan was hired and redditgifts bought from him to contribute to the community/organization/company, so if he was terminated for having opinions on what he created, reddit is the loser in the situation. Dan will have no trouble finding another job, but the chaos reddit created in his life by forcing a move and terminating him is disgraceful.
