Reddit's CEO just downvoted himself.

Yishan Wong has resigned as CEO of Reddit after disagreeing with the board about a new office, strangely enough, according to a blog post from Sam Altman, the lead investor in the company's most recent round of funding.

"The reason was a disagreement with the board about a new office (location and amount of money to spend on a lease)," Altman wrote in his post. "To be clear, though, we didn’t ask or suggest that he resign—he decided to when we didn’t approve the new office plan."

In comment thread later on Hacker News, Altman acknowledged that the explanation "sounds non-credible (and it's certainly one of the craziest professional things I've ever been a part of), but it's actually what happened." According to Altman, Wong wanted to move the office location from San Francisco to Daly City:

Yishan wanted to move the office from SF to Daly City. The board pushed back but said we'd agree to it with certain data (we wanted Yishan to figure out how many employees would stay with the company through the move, get a comparison to other market rents, etc.—all questions I think a board should ask when thinking through a major commitment). This is certainly not what I was expecting to be dealing with so quickly after investing in reddit, but we'll make the best of it.

Altman, who briefly served as CEO of Reddit after Wong resigned last week, announced that Reddit's head of strategic partnerships Ellen Pao will step in as interim CEO. Meanwhile, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian is returning to the company to serve as executive chairman in what may be viewed as a confidence building move.

"Now at a little over nine years old, with thousands of communities, Reddit is at an amazing inflection point and I'm thrilled to return to help it achieve all that it can," Ohanian wrote in a blog post announcing his position at the company. "We've got a lot of work to do: mobile, user experience, and community tools are on the top of our list, but as always, we can't do it without you."

Ohanian will work full-time at the company and divide his time between his home in New York and the office in San Francisco, according to a response to a question on Reddit. "The team is moving to SF and I'll get a cot in the office," he wrote. Ohanian also stressed in the Reddit forum and in a subsequent interview that, yes, Wong's departure really was about the office space.

“To add one layer, he genuinely did want to spend more time with his family, but you’d probably consider that to be an even less satisfying answer,” Ohanian told Fortune in an interview.

Reddit raised $50 million in funding in September from Altman, Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. The funding came on the heels of criticism for Reddit's handling of nude celebrity photos that had leaked online and gained traction on the social news service.

"We understand the harm that misusing our site does to the victims of this theft, and we deeply sympathize. Having said that, we are unlikely to make changes to our existing site content policies in response to this specific event," Wong wrote in a blog post at the time, which was quickly criticized for being vague and confusing. Other employees at Reddit noted the photo incident made them feel "pretty awful."

Just weeks after Reddit confirmed its massive funding round, general manager and longtime employee Erik Martin stepped down from the company. No reason was provided.
