A number of party leaders are frustrated that Hogg, who has a leadership position in the party, is pushing primaries against some incumbents in deep-blue seats.
Makes you wonder if it’s intentional. Older redditors might remember when Ellen Pao came in as CEO and then made a bunch of unpopular changes that everyone hated. She then fell on the sword and Huffman came back in as “the hero” to take over as she left with her golden parachute and all the unpopular changes remained. People realized this was the plan the whole time, and her role was to be the scapegoat for the garbage that the leadership wanted implemented, but they were all working together the whole time.
We’ve been seeing the same with the DNC and RNC for nearly two decades now. Republicans get in and destroy a bunch of shit but also cut taxes for the wealthy. The Democrats then defeat them and get to act like the good guys while not fixing any of the mess but giving a lot of lip service about how unfair things are for the common person. Once things like the tax cuts are set to expire, they allow the Republicans to win again so they can extend them and the cycle repeats.
Ellen Pao was OK, she just wanted to prevent hate speech, the campaign against her was completely uncalled for. I don’t think it was planned for her to fail.
The result was that the reddit clone “Voat” was created as a non censored alternative, and of course that was toxic as hell.
Essentially what Pao did was to keep reddit within the law and being responsible. And prevent moronic subs like one that was based on illegal revenge-porn!!
By far the most Lemmy instances are run by similar standards to what Pao wanted. Pao was demonized for no reason.
Pao was essentially the antithesis to what X is to Twitter.
This is a whitewashing of the events and makes no mention of them deleting any comments critical of her, firing well liked employees like Victoria who ran AMAs, banning many subs for “hate speech” while keeping places like The_Donald at the top of reddit search results and untouched even though these users continuously spread hate speech and brigaded the rest of the site. Most of the subs went dark in protest of her actions and it wasn’t because a bunch of incels got banned. Voat being a site full of Nazis is entirely inconsequential because Nazis love nothing more than luring in and indoctrinating ‘outcasts’ and do the same on every other site too.
