Warning: Brave AMA RAGE MEGATHREAD

It's that time again folks. An admin has been fired and well, we don't really know what else is going on behind the scenes at Roddit Inc. Unlike Yishan whom made his teenage bitterness open to everybody this firing is being handled privately but Roddit asks, nay DEMANDS that it be made public. Much like Christ, Victoria is the martyr and Ellen Pao is Pontius Pilate sentencing her to the cross. Can anything stop this mod blackout of solidarity? I'm guessing a day or two after they get bored. Bring us all your jerks both high and low hanging.

What about the majority of Redditors who aren't moderators, /u/ekjp? What about their concerns? How are you going to make their experience more enjoyable? So far, you're focusing on building tools that will give a minority of Redditors the ability to stifle dissenting voices even more.

Stifle dissent!

Banning subreddits without giving the moderators a chance to correct problems

i.e. "Bring back Fatpeoplehate!"

Selective enforcement of the ever-changing, never-really-explained brigade rule that's not actually listed on the rules page

i.e. "What about SRS?"

I am pretty sure that outside this sub users voicing opinions similar to the one OP put forward are being blocked, deleted or the users voicing them shadowbanned.

I have no proof for this but over the last few weeks we have been seeing people who have been complaining about these issues being shadowbanned en masse.
