Ellen Pao resigned from reddit today by mutual agreement. I'm delighted to announce that Steve Huffman, founder and the original reddit CEO, is returning as CEO.

The internet actually did something...

I honestly can't tell you what she did wrong. It just seems like reddit hounded her for very vague reasons.

I thought /r/FPH was stupid and I don't care if they got banned (but muh free speech)

It wasn't her decision to fire Victoria

So what else did she do that deserved this?

She was strongly against the core values that reddit was founded upon, and hence was not fit to be the CEO.

She fired an admin because they had cancer, or at least she supported the idea.

There are other things too, but I don't keep tabs on reddit that much.
