Well, the biggest change is one of perceived tone by the community. That is, Many redditors, correctly or incorrectly, were under the impression that reddit the website and the company were for Free Speech at a libertarian level - To paraphrase Voltaire "I disagree with what you're saying, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Since Pao has been on, it has been made clear that this is not the case (Nor was it ever, really, but that's dust in the wind), and that Reddit is being "cleaned up". Of course, the clean up will now mostly be brushing the ugly subreddits under the rug until they cause a ruckus again and they get banned.
And that's the way it has always been. But I guess perception is what matters, and people are only cottoning on to this now.Of course, the clean up will now mostly be brushing the ugly subreddits under the rug until they cause a ruckus again and they get banned.
