All of us at reddit work here because we think that reddit is a community like none other. We think it can be a powerful force to change the world for the better.

In the context of social media, reddit is more about the media than the personalities.

With Facebook, you're not really allowed to be unhappy. Think about it: There's only a like button. Yes, you can be angry, but it's only lighthearted rage. On Reddit, perhaps because you can be anonymous, people are willing to be openly sad or angry. They are more honest.

Everything ultimately becomes the CEO's problem, no matter where it starts. I can see why some CEOs crack under the pressure.

Reddit is where anyone can come and tell their real story.

We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it.
