If they want to remove her as CEO they should leave Reddit, and hope that the loss of their traffic is enough economic pressure to call for her dismissal. Petitions are just a way to whine without committing to anything.
I'm kind of appalled at how all the stories I've seen relating to this are giving credence to the various claims made here, such as how Reddit has "entered into a new age of censorship", without even making the slightest attempt to contextualize or explain how <i>absolutely bat-shit nutty it is to make that claim</i>. Reddit enforced its rules and shut down a few vile subreddits that were explicitly and unrepentantly harassing people. That is unambiguously a great move by Reddit. But a lot of people are suddenly screaming "censorship" and, if you read nothing but the news stories, you'd come away with the idea that those screaming "censorship" are right.<p>This actually feels a bit reminiscent of GamerGate, which for a while was able to have news outlets report on them as if their stated goal of ethics in game journalism was actually what it was about.
