Poll: Anyone following the meltdown on Reddit?

[Deep]

Yeah, same here. Christ knows why it attracts so many people, I've never used it and never will!

Because it has subreddits that appeal to peoples tastes

Oh dear, where will OcUKers go now to find their animated GIFs

 

[Craig321]

Yep that's 100% what I'm spending this sunny Friday afternoon doing...

But you're here instead?

Same place /r/gifs got them. 4chan.

In the garden with a drink on a tablet, not sitting on reddit following a non story

Supposedly Victoria got fired after an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Rev. Jesse Jackson went wrong, with people asking him tough questions which he didn't answer properly.

I can't follow reddit full stop, the layout confuses the hell out of me tbh.

No idea why they'd fire her over that when you consider some of the horrific AMAs some celebrities have done, other than Pao is pushing a political agenda inside Reddit (when you consider "mean" subreddit Fat People Hate being shut down, but other more odious subreddits remaining).

+1 for confusing layout

Plus TEST, the mini-goons came from there. Nothing good has come from it

 

[Spacedeck]

Layout used to confuse me and now I think Reddit is pretty much awesome. Once you work things out they have so much going on. Normally I go into /r/funny as that's normally a good laugh

I've looked at reddit once in my life, and just didn't "get" it, so have never looked at it since!

That's the suggestion - she'll probably want an "inspirational" facebook style ad on TV next.

I don't get why people don't understand the reddit layout - it's perfectly logical (maybe not simple enough for some people).

Whoever thought hiring Pao as a CEO was a good idea was an idiot. It's not like she's got a great track record. Now she's running it like her own little fiefdom. And she has no clue how to work the site either.

I mean if people can't work out threaded conversations, how the hell did you people survive in the early days of the internet, email and newsgroups?

Same here, found the design and layout of the threads on it to be incomprehensible.

My first thought when after reading how many people abandoned the site based solely on the format. There's some excellent, excellent content on there that's worth putting up with a format you don't get on with.

ITT: O/T.

Victoria probably got fired due to getting laid with another admin then another admin didn't like it.

EDIT: REDDIT IS a mess!

 

[Burnsy2023]

I usually spend a fair bit of time on Reddit, but I'm keeping well clear until this ****storm has blown over.

Reddit is no different to most forums really.
