But did you know: Nearly all major subreddits are back online following protests by Reddit’s volunteer moderators over the dismissal of Victoria Taylor, former AMA coordinator and director of talent. Taylor also served as a liaison between Reddit’s full-time employees and its volunteer moderators. Reddit CEO Ellen Pao says the problem is that Reddit hasn’t “helped our moderators with better support after many years of promising to do so.”
