I thought she was a mod but she was actually employed by reddit. In that case, i agree that it is a bit over the top. I think though people are just annoyed with the way reddit has lost the community feel that it once had.
Apparently the reason she was fired was because she did not censor the questions on the jesse jackson ama sufficiently enough.

It's pathetic. I go to reddit sometimes mainly for interesting tidbits that get posted especially stuff in /r/history or /r/askscience...
Moderators throwing their toys out of the pram because someone popular left/lost their job... utterly childish.

I thoroughly enjoy reddit. You need to create an account so you can curate which subreddits you're subscribed to as the many of the defaults will likely do your nut in.
Once subscribed to a number of the smaller subreddits more specific to your interest it completely changes all the content you're presented with and keeps away a lot of the nonsense.
It wasn't about being a hate based reddit, it came down to real life harassment and doxxing of imgur staff by the members and staff of that subreddit. Doxxing and harassment of any kind isn't tolerated, so they banned the sub. Nothing to do with censorship or free speech or any making the site more advertiser friendly.
That of course didn't stop a vocal minority from pretending this was the reason in order to get everyone all riled up to hate on the admins.

Cool so long as you don't doxx people you can keep subreddits like pics of dead kids and **** town running.
Edit: So now we now why imgur didn't like people posting fat pics on their site. Great.

Pretty much, yep. Always been the way. There's some very disturbing subreddits and dark parts of that website. AFAIK jailbait was the only other big one that was shut down as it was on the verge of being CP.
EDIT: And the Fappenning - which, while was probably partly due to huge legal pressure also boiled down to being CP due to some of the celebrities being under age.
But it's a much wider issue than that. The mods aren't being supported as they were told they would be. There is obviously a disconnect between corporate and the community.
'muricans take their 1st amendment rights very, very seriously. So seriously they completely forget that a private organisation has the right to prohibit speech. Anyway.. No matter how offensive the topic, as long as it doesn't infringe on other people's rights (such as privacy, which doxxing very much does infringe), it's allowed to stay. That's how it has always been on reddit, and ultimately, is why it is as popular as it is.

It's not that it's un-usable, just that it's a pain in the butt to use, OCUK for example, want to look at random pics, just scroll through them in the pics thread, with reddit you have to click on individual threads and then click the content and rinse an repeat for every new image, it's completely ridiculous.

What does Doxx mean?
Finding/releasing as much personal information on someone as you can.
