I feel bad for Pao on a personal level, but I feel like she is too divisive to be an effective leader of a site like reddit. All people deserve respect though and should not have to put up with hateful personal attacks.

I think mainly this underscores the need for the internet to evolve. Sites like reddit and twitter are too important to be controlled by a single for-profit entity.

We need distributed systems that respect anonymity and privacy that prevent censorship. We also need the ability for groups to form where content can be curated.

I think there are a number of projects in development that have potential. It will be interesting to see where things go.
