A big change is happening at Reddit after its Orlando shooting fiasco
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/06/16/reddit-makes-some-changes-in-the-wake-of-the-orlando-shooting/
The situation exposed some uncomfortable truths about how
small groups of Reddit users can affect what the entire
community sees, and raises questions about Reddit's reliance
on volunteer moderators and its ability to act as the front
page of the Internet. To help address the issue, Reddit chief
executive Steve Huffman said that the firm has tweaked the
algorithm it uses to display what's on the r/all page. Right
now, the page displays popular posts from nearly all the
site's subsections.
