did anyone post about how the ex-ceo called out the current ceo on reddit?

yishan was the CEO before Pao. kn0wthing is Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder.





[–]yishan [Δ] 4636 points 1 day agox2
I'm glad redditors have started to piece together all of this. Here's the only thing you're missing:

It travels upstream, except when it comes from the CEO's boss.

Alexis wasn't some employee reporting to Pao, he was the Executive Chairman of the Board, i.e. Pao's boss. He had different ideas for AMAs, he didn't like Victoria's role, and decided to fire her. Pao wasn't able to do anything about it. In this case it shouldn't have traveled upstream to her, it came from above her.

Then when the hate-train started up against Pao, Alexis should have been out front and center saying very clearly "Ellen Pao did not make this decision, I did." Instead, he just sat back and let her take the heat. That's a stunning lack of leadership and an incredibly lovely thing to do.

I actually asked that he be on the board when I joined; I used to respect Alexis Ohanian. After this, not quite so much.


[–]kn0thing [A] -3287 points 1 day ago*
It saddens me to hear you say this, Yishan.
I did report to her, we didn't handle it well, and again, I apologize.
edit: I can't comment on the specifics.



[–]yishan [Δ] 3274 points 1 day ago*
I can lighten up a bit based on /u/kickme444 's comment/clarification above given that in-one-capacity you weren't her boss, but I am still extremely disappointed in you.

It wasn't "we didn't handle it well" - Ellen actually handled things very well, and with quite a bit of grace given the prejudices arrayed against her and the situation she was put in - you didn't handle it well. There was tremendous amounts of unnecessary damage done as a result, and we are only able to say that things might turn out ok because Huffman agreed to return and take up the mantle.

I had sex with a 32-year old at 16. SA is run by SJWs. Liking 16-year olds is not pedophilia. I hate your pronoun. I like young boys. I donate to the NAACP and probably NAMBLA too.

counterpoint: the forums arent dead.

Even from three years ago the number of posts per day (excluding GBS) are way down.

Banning an otherwise funny poster for their terrible opinions on gender re-assignment surgery in order to push some kind of political agenda was the first time I noticed that the modding had changed. For like four years it didn't matter if you made funny content if your political/social views didn't line up with the mod team. And there was some kind of feminist hit squad I discovered just for posting the fact that women can be abusers too.

40% of the USA has terrible opinions. Banning and probating them simply because you have the power to do so was stupid.
