Front Page Subreddits Go Private in Response to Firing of Reddit Admin

The IAMA sub going offline/private was NOT about solidarity.

They needed Victoria to function, without her they are scrambling to figure out how they will do any upcoming AMAs.

The current AMA schedule (20 AMAs) will be scrapped.

"a load bearing wall in the house of AMA has been removed"- Knothing.

R/science had a similar problem, based on what a mod said in the original out of the loop thread.

As for The other subs, they may be doing it in solidarity.

That is a quote by karmanaut not kn0thing (Alexis Ohanian). The comments by kn0thing have been in some cases just fuel for the fire.

Yeah, I feel a bit sorry for kn0thing. This must be an incredibly stressful time in the Reddit office, and that really comes through in his comments.

You clearly missed his antagonizing of the community in about nine different threads.

I believe nathans comments were sarcastic in nature.
