I'm probably un-hireable now. I'm pretty sure no one will ever hire me as a CEO or any other executive position again.
Way to burn your bridges. Slandering the very company he administered and blaming shortcomings on the users, I can see why he would think he wouldn't get hired again in a CEO position.

That site is hilarious.
New Reddit CEO 2015: "Neither Alexis nor I created reddit to be a bastion of free speech"
Since Ohanian is a graduate of UVA, he jokingly claims a direct line to Thomas Jefferson. “I have a feeling the founding fathers would give a big look of disapproval at the effect of lobbying dollars on our elected officials,” he says.
Speaking of the founding fathers, I ask him what he thinks they would have thought of Reddit.
“A bastion of free speech on the World Wide Web? I bet they would like it,” he replies.
And if that wasn't enough here's a few officially endorsed promotional banners for Reddit still hosted on their self styled ['propaganda page'] (https://sp.reddit.com/propaganda.html)
Garbage in, garbage out.

I don't buy that FPH was harassing people off-site. Or at least, it would be great to see some proof of that. The FPH mods asserted that they never did and came down hard whenever they found people leaking into other subs. Does anyone know if there's proof or at least an example?

The best example I saw was when FPH had a picture of Imgur admins/staff in their sidebar in retaliation to Imgur blocking fat-shaming related posts from their front page. Of course there was comments directed towards the staff about their size but it wasn't anything different from any other featured submissions (Tess Munster/Holliday comes to mind).
FPH mods certainly did attempt to keep it concealed in the subreddit and never encouraged brigading of any sort. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that this incident went outside of the subreddit but it very well could've.
Because that's the point in where I think it got personal for the Reddit team, as Imgur was made for Reddit after all, and not long after that all happened is when FPH was shut down by Reddit Admins.
It's a shitty excuse to ban the subreddit but I suspect that's one of the main reasons why they're saying that FPH targeted people off-site.

yishan always was a little asian girl. and here he's confirming what most knew: they hired pao cuz she was a non-white woman, in an effort to appease the SJW crowd. not because she was the best for the job. yishan has always tried to appease that crowd
and FPH wasnt doing anything other subs havent done, and more often. their banning on harassment grounds was a stretch, and was selective enforcement besides. given he's also clearly trying to feed the flames (and their utter lack of transparency even after dishonest claims to support it) i wouldnt give any credit to his claims that pao was some free-expression supporter

I dislike Yishan as much as the others. Does anybody else think he's just trying to give Pao grounds to sue Reddit for forcing her out? Her and her husband's legal bills aren't going to pay themselves.
