Reddit Users Push For CEO Ellen Pao's Resignation [Updated]

A Change.org petition asking Pao to step down has received more than 180,000 signatures.

Reddit may not have had a cheery, beer-soaked long weekend like the rest of us: On Friday, the online community found itself at the mercy of its own moderators, when almost 300 subreddits, most notably the popular "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) forum, were temporarily shuttered in response to Reddit's dismissal of talent director Victoria Taylor the day prior. The subreddits steadily began to reopen over the weekend, but the protest seemed to spur on support for a Change.org petition calling for Reddit CEO Ellen Pao's resignation.
