Didn't spez coup her? Alexis fired the AMA lady and they blamed in on Pao after she had already been targeted for deleting r/fph (I would list the other 4 she banned but there would be some CW involved). They jumped on the opportunity to oust her as she had gotten on their nerves for some time.
In my more liberal moments I can't help but notice the timing. I don't know Pao's politics, if I had to guess I'd say Hillary fan. But no doubt she would have banned all the alt-right shit if she stayed. But she resigned July 2015. A year before the election and while the primaries were happening. Then spez got in and did absolutely fuck all while the site was taken over by the right. I'm not saying Russia did it or something, or that it definitely is something other than bad timing. But it's interesting to think about.
I hadn't been on reddit very long when all that went down but it was was pretty insufferable.
the subs she banned were some of those vile toxic hellholes on reddit and that—that is saying something too. I don't know the full details about the spez thing but it wouldn't at all be shocking if he planned that coup against her. Plus he is a libertarian so i bet he really fucking hated her politics on top of everything else.
Also this image fuckin' rules. They even included us g*mers in it :))
My understanding from browsing r/SRD was Pao actually supported more :freeze-peach: spez doubled-down on censorship.
I think there's a term for making unpopular moves under a woman leader and using her as a scapegoat.

thanks, I knew glass ceiling and couldn't come up with that
Apparently, she was actually against banning FPH and the other subs, so make of that what you will
