Reddit CEO admits to altering user comments that were critical of him

I will once again point out the irony of r/The_Donald members constantly complaining about SJWs being up in arms over their racist, sexist, homophobic rants. Yet the second something like this drops, it's the end of the world. Reddit as a whole is going to crumble because the CEO got sick of their childish antics.

That's two totally different concepts.

It's one thing to "complaining about",,, generalizations. It's entirely different for a CEO to abuse his power and censor those he disagrees with on a social media site.

He should be let go for this! He is literally putting words in peoples mouths!!

It calls into question the credibility of the whole site.

And yet Donald Trump is blocking his press core [0], calling for an end to SNL because they made fun of him [1], telling CNN execs that they are all liars [2], revoking credentials of the Washington Post [3] among many others [4]. Sure, the reddit CEO doing it is bad... the president elect though...

Yeah - but imagine that Paul Graham w HN for example disagreed with your position.

Let's say that instead of allowing you to express this last comment - he used his admin privileges and made your comment PRO trump.

Do you see the difference? Having a strong opposing - even annoying - demanding - opinion is not the same as impersonating others and censoring their words.

HUGE HUGE DIFFERENCE

Does that make sense?

It does make sense... however my point is that the next president of the United States talking about manipulating media is much bigger deal than someone changing my comments on a site. Both are bad... one is much worse.
