Reddit Goes Black

Reddit has gone black in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. The social news aggregation website has unveiled the black version of their logo, which is usually a bright orange, to mourn the death of George Floyd and express solidarity with protests happening around the country. The modified logo will be reflected on the website and as an app icon for eight days. In addition to the logo change, cofounder Alexis Ohanian announced that he is stepping down from his position on Reddit’s board of directors, with the explicit wish that a black candidate will be chosen to replace him.
