There were a lot more banned subreddits and users way before Pao was anywhere in the reddit picture. Its nothing new.
The reddit anger towards her was mostly accumulation of cultural change that has been going in reddit management every since Yishan left (also ~30 employees were fired/let go in a very short period) and firing of Victoria just the tipping point. It also helps that Victoria was very well liked.
I honestly dont know who is to be blamed for reddit going the shithole but at the end of the day CEO needs to take responsibility.

That's what it boils down to. The buck stops at the CEO's desk, even if the CEO wasn't directly involved with the problem. This is really not much different than the CEO of Target losing his job after someone hacked its customer data.
