Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian said Friday he’s resigning from the company’s board of directors and wants a black candidate to take his seat on what has been an all-white, four-person board. CEO Steve Huffman promised to honor the request, and said in a post on Reddit that the company will update its content moderation policies and “do the hard work of making sure we are living up to our values.”

“I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now,” Ohanian said in the video posted to his personal Twitter.
