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

Reddit has large radical left and radical right communities that are constantly fighting and overwhelm the site with political drama and propaganda. If they don't do something about it they are going to lose the users that come there to look at cats.

That's the problem -- there should be no "Reddit". The only interesting part of Reddit are the communities and there's no reason why the_donald and SRS can't exist under the same reddit.com domain. I really wish /u/spez et al. would take a hands-off approach except for cases where users are breaking the law.

I say this all the time and people immediately accuse me of being a racist.

Reddit should let everything organically perform, and remove things that are against the law. Not things that are against their left-leaning political agenda.

Aaron Swartz would not like Reddit in it's current shape.
