" /r/twoxchromosomes and /r/trollxchromosomes are still banning users and deleting all comments having to do with Victoria or the current events, despite NO violations of the subreddit rules. This is really suspicious and oppressive behavior from the moderators. Very concerning. " - Anonymous /u/SlendyTheMan

Business Insider: Reddit's popular 'ask me anything' feature is down after a key employee is gone
"At least 11 of the sites subreddits, or community groups, have turned private in protest of the news. What was originally just the AMA subreddit, the protest has expanded to included 11 subreddits dedicated to gaming, history, movies, and other subjects. Some subreddits have also stopped taking submissions." /u/i542

pao is a fucking retard and so are the people in reddit who support her; this really is the only way to bring about any form of "change" on reddit now

by **alyaza** July 2nd 2015, 9:50 pm

like seriously, if you actually think at this point that there is another way to tell reddit to quit being retarded other than to render most of it inaccessible and unusable, please feel free to throw it at the dudes who are doing this, i'm sure they'd love to hear it and i'm sure reddit will totally listen despite the fact that they've never listened to shit any other way than the truly incredible e-riot going down right now

As mod of /r/piratesofthecaribbean, I have decided to bring the sub back up for now to allow discussion of AMAgeddon or just PotC in general, since voat.co is down. We may go dark again if no response comes from the admins. Submissions are restricted. We do fully support the cause though!

Destructoid: Major gaming subreddits go dark over employee being fired from reddit
"Reddit is imploding after the firing of admin Victoria Taylor, one of the main people behind the popular Q&A subreddit r/IAmA where notable figures and celebrities answer questions directly from redditors. It is unconfirmed but many are suggesting she was fired over an AMA (ask me anything) that occurred yesterday with Jesse Jackson that didn't go so smoothly, to say the least."
