TheErebus. Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) https://www.change.org/p/ellen-k-pao-step-down-as-ceo-of-reddit-inc THEY BLOCKED THE FRONT PAGE OF REDDIT https://www.reddit.com/r/FrontPage/ For those of you who don't know: A mod got banned for an unknown reason, but this mod was extremely important. She was the one running everything and making sure the subreddits don't fall under, but she got banned and no other admin was told why or even what to do now. So certain admins decided to block off their subreddits and move on to different alternatives to reddit. Edited July 4, 2015 by TheErebus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheErebus. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 In all honesty, I'm getting kinda annoyed with this sorts of replies. If you aren't going to contribute to the topic at hand, don't bother posting in it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheErebus. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 complaining about that on the off topic thread ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o) What? That has nothing to do with anything I've said. My off-topic threads may be silly, they may be informative or they may be very serious, but I have certain dislikes when it comes to responses. What you posted was one of them, I dislike it because all it does is show off that "OH LOOK HE PUT A CLICKBAIT TITLE", without actually looking at the content at hand.

TheErebus. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Same, they pretty much have ruined the youtube comment section. I've never had a negative or positive opinion towards reddit, but it is kinda messed up to see how one mod getting banned can cause a huge reaction.

Aercascade Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 If you post a le funny pic enough it becomes funny. That's how these things work. Right? Also I only browse Warframe and Planetside 2 Reddits so it hasn't been too bothersome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseNet Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 https://www.reddit.com/ seems to be working fine? Granted i might be doing something wrong i never understood the layout of the website.I hope it burns, the only thing I've seen come out or reddit is the 'fedora thing'.

TheErebus. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 https://www.reddit.com/ seems to be working fine? Granted i might be doing something wrong i never understood the layout of the website. I guess the main page works, but the front page specific is blocked off. I was there yesterday, it wall about Ellen Pao and how she ruined Reddit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genji Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) They canned 2 of the most well liked & visible staff members there, one of which was key to organizing AMAs (celebrity & otherwise) and worked with a lot of the bigger sub reddits. You'd think they'd expect some feedback from that but ehh too late now.. Reddit is a great site as it covers everything, It has its good & its bad. Its a big ! funnel of everything. Hell I found out about Warframe from it. Edited July 4, 2015 by Genjinaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormandreas Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 What? That has nothing to do with anything I've said. My off-topic threads may be silly, they may be informative or they may be very serious, but I have certain dislikes when it comes to responses. What you posted was one of them, I dislike it because all it does is show off that "OH LOOK HE PUT A CLICKBAIT TITLE", without actually looking at the content at hand. No mate, this IS a clickbait thread. Reddit is awful, and frankly, confusing. The Front page works fine, its just the link you sent. Don't get annoyed at people because they think you're overreacting (which imo too, you are, and so are many others). Its just a bloody website filled with rubbish. Get over it.

TheErebus. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) No mate, this IS a clickbait thread. I never said it isn't, in fact, whenever someone says "It's a clickbait thread", I always respond with "That's the point." So are half my other threads, in fact, most of them are, but they give the information that the clickbait says they do. Reddit is going crazy right now. So many subreddits are just being closed off, people are leaving it to go find other alternatives (which has resulted in those alternatives being shut down tue to heavy traffic) Just because you don't use it, does not mean it isn't a big deal. Don't get annoyed at people because they think you're overreacting (which imo too, you are, and so are many others). Its just a bloody website filled with rubbish. Get over it. Again, just because you don't use it or even care for it, does not mean it isn't a big deal to everyone, it's just not a big deal to you. So again: Either contribute to the discussion at hand, or don't bother posting at all. Simple as that. Edited July 5, 2015 by TheErebus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseNet Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 No mate, this IS a clickbait thread. I've seen a lot of Erebus's threads. This has to be one of the less clickbait-y ones. And the title is in fact apt, reddit users are losing their proverbial s**t over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecapitatingJim Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 So basically someone got banned and now the admins are acting like children? Yep sounds like Reddit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
