Hey, I was in that IRC, too!

I agree, the whole AMAgeddon fell pretty flat. The way everything went down looked like a temper tantrum rather than a revolt, and it got pretty tiresome to deal with. I think the weirdest part about it was all of the people that got mad when the mods brought the subs back, despite it being their fight more than anyone else's. I think a lot of people just used it as an excuse to get mad at Chairman Pao and her minions at the Gestapo Reddit HQ. It went from pretty understandable to absolutely ridiculous pretty fast.

However, I don't really mind. I found a couple new sites to split some of my time up into, which is a bonus for me. If anything, I guess I have to thank them for it, so: thank you Ellen Pao!
