“I feel like there are going be some big bumps on the road ahead for Reddit,” Blount said. “Along the way, there are some very aggressive implied promises being made to the community—in comments to mods, quotes from board members—and they’re going to have some pretty big challenges in meeting those implied promises.”
Blount, who previously worked at Facebook, may have been referring to promises to build “better tools for moderators” to “help keep subreddits and reddit awesome,” as Pao mentioned in a post after the firing of Victoria Taylor, a moderator who worked on the popular r/AMA subreddit.
