I try not to get all rose-tinted about reddit but this doesn't surprise me at all and appears to be the natural progression of what was signaled with the firing of Victoria Taylor. Reddit has clearly forgotten that, despite its more recent professional veneer, it is still held together by duct tapes and prayers - both of which are largely provided by their own moderators and 3rd party app developers. Yet with every passing year they've become increasingly hostile to both. Steve Huffman threatened to ban all of us last blackout, as if a bunch of volunteers (many of which probably would relish the opportunity to step away from reddit and just need a bit of a prod) can be truly threatened.

They're trying to saw off the table legs while they're setting the table for their big meal.
