"We work for this platform because we care deeply about community and belonging. But community and belonging are not possible without safety from violence, and now is the time to stand in solidarity with the Black members of our communities," Huffman wrote in the letter."I know many of you are wondering what you can do and what we as a company can do. One important thing we can all do today is to support one another.
"Set up rules that are as clear and simple as possible, and based on your values. Apply the rules consistently. Don't make exceptions. The exceptions become the norm, especially when made for high visibility content or people." While Reddit had no further comment in response to Pao's tweet, a representative for the social news aggregator pointed to a 2018 policy update that substantially expanded details regarding content restrictions on the site.
Huffman, a Reddit co-founder and CEO since Pao's exit from the company, has preferred erecting barriers over outright bans. One such barrier was the 2019"quarantine" of The_Donald that made it more difficult to access. Only subreddits flagrantly violating the content policy have been banned entirely under Huffman's leadership, including a 2018 purge of 109 subreddits with names like KillAllJews, KKK and DylannRoofInnocent.
