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

And without an "edited" mark, which means that any comment of any user can be covertly modified by an admin. Very concerning since Reddit comments have provoked even Congress hearings: http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/296680-house-pan...

The fact is anything digital can be modified this way; it's probably good that it happens and there are public examples so people learn not to trust it.

Would be good to have some distributed model (like Bitcoin, etc.) for message platforms like Reddit?

Yeah. That would be great. I'd go so far as to say that it would be a really Useful network. If you catch my drift.

It might even develop its own alt.right community.

Naturally.

I mean, where else would the right-leaning Anarchists, Lunatics, and Terrorists hang out?

alt.religion.scientology of course.
