Ars Technica: Last Thursday, the firing of a well-respected Reddit employee responsible for facilitating the site’s famous “Ask Me Anything” posts proved to be the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, as dozens of the site’s discussion areas were taken offline by moderators in protest. Though Reddit CEO Ellen Pao posted several responses to the protest, they were quickly down voted into invisibility by angry users. But on Monday, Pao made a top-level post to the /r/announcements subreddit, which was quickly voted up to the front page. The post’s title: “We apologize.” Said Pao: “We screwed up. Not just on July 2, but also over the past several years.”
