This should be… interesting: “CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman will be conducting a Reddit AMA — short for “Ask Me Anything” — tomorrow at 1pm PST, giving a space for Redditors to dialogue with him about the site’s present and future.” ….In other news, expect a deafening cacophony of sounds and rage to saturate the Internet at about – hey! 1 PM, Pacific Time! What an extraordinary coincidence.

PS: Still haven’t really got into this Reddit thing. So what I’ve decided to do is, see, is to take this Megan McArdle article and just more or less agree with it: it seems reasonably sound, and if there’s anything really awful in there somewhere I can always change my position. Which, really, is how it generally works for most people; only we rarely publicly admit to resorting to such shortcuts. But, hey, why lie?
Another one? He did one shortly after it was announced he was taking over as CEO: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3cxedn/i_am_steve_huffman_the_new_ceo_of_reddit_ama/

Be warned: it can be an enormous time sink. And a massive echo chamber. And in some places, unspeakably vile (that fat shaming thing that came up a while ago is just the tip of the iceberg). But in other places, quite useful. And it’s mostly pretty easy to filter out the junk, so *shrug*.
A fair enough article, but it left out her actions at the beginning of what became GamerGate.
Her trying to tamp down the Zoe Quinn controversy with mass bans didn’t go over especially well.
And the article also doesn’t mention the incident that happened soon before the popular manager’s firing- an AMA with Jesse Jackson in which people asked him questions that were not fluff. It’s been denied that was the reason for the firing, dunno.
