UPDATE: Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian wrote “popcorn tastes good” in response to comments from confused users as huge sections of the site went dark Thursday night.
Huge sections of Reddit were set to private on Thursday night following reports that Reddit employee Victoria Taylor, who went by the screenname /u/chooter, was fired.
Taylor's most important role was as a key moderator of r/IAMA, the question-and-answer board home to interviews with people like Julian Assange and Barack Obama.
Another very popular moderator, Karmanaut, posted his thoughts about Taylor's removal, writing, "Today, we learned that Victoria was unexpectedly let go from her position with Reddt. We all had the rug ripped out from under us and feel betrayed."
Other huge subreddits are setting themselves to private out of protest, as well, including r/science, r/AskReddit, and r/gaming.
