  • It’s clear here that reddit—a site that is pretty much nothing but community—faces the same kinds of disconnects between executives and ground-level support that happen in associations where communities are only small parts of the total member offerings.
  • Reddit highlights how harmful a poorly handled staff transition can be for these volunteers.
  • When it comes down to it, an online community is about people, not just technology. And keeping that trust between community managers and the community at large is hugely important.
