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

The tension that The_Donald and many alt-right subreddits place on reddit in general seems to be reaching a boiling point. I get the feeling the admins are just waiting for a credible reason to present itself that lets them cleanly wipe out all of them.

What is the tension about exactly? That they don't align with their own personal political views?

A couple months ago I was on the bus, and a religious person started preaching. Loudly. It was really annoying. I asked him to stop, and he hid behind some reference to his constitutionally protected rights. I did nothing, but I really wanted to do something. A certain subreddit reminds me of preacher duds on the bus.

I wish I had better tools to deal with assholes. Savvy leadership can come up with clever solutions sometimes, but it'd be nice to somehow reduce the need to be clever.
