Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com)
Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, today admitted to editing several comments that criticized him on the site. He made the admission on Reddit, where he posts under the username Spez. CNET adds: Huffman got a lot of flak from members of the The_Donald, a subreddit for supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, after Reddit banned the Pizzagate subreddit. Pizzagate was dedicated to a debunked conspiracy theory linking Hillary Clinton to a paedophile ring. In response, he edited comments reading "fuck Spez" to instead be directed at moderators of the The_Donald subreddit. "I messed with the "fuck u/spez" comments, replacing "spez" with r/the_donald mods for about an hour. It's been a long week here trying to unwind the r/pizzagate stuff," he wrote. "As much as we try to maintain a good relationship with you all, it does get old getting called a pedophile constantly." Huffman added: "Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won't do this again."
Trump is a zombie?
Well, it would explain those eyes and the off skin colour.
Wingus, Dingus! Listen up!
This happens over and over again. There doesn't seem to be a solution that actually works
4chan, of all places, lost its shit when the owner had to ban GamerGate. Reddit has been upsetting certain groups of users for years but the much hyped move to Voat didn't materialise. You can't post the n-word on Slashdot any more, probably for advertising reasons. YouTube similarly stopped certain videos being monetised. Twitter bans persistent trolls.
Run your own blog maybe?

That's hilarious where you trot out the New York Times like it's some kind of credible news site. I don't know if you noticed, but the NYT and the rest of the US mainstream media completely discredited itself in the recent election by coming out in full force backing Hillary. The whole world saw it. And now that they haven't learned a thing and are doing what they always do - show support for the powerful and shit on the little guy - you're still linking to their fake news? Seriously? It's laughable.
Better to get your news on controversial topics from actual credible news sources like Infowars or Breitbart. These sites have a huuuuuge audience, larger than the mainstream media, and they report stories that the MSM refuses to cover. Think about it: when powerful people tell you to ignore news sources, what should you do? (A) Obey and be a good little drone. Or (B) take it as proof positive that these news sources are broadcasting very inconvenient narratives that they really don't want you to know. Read for yourself, evaluate for yourself, if you think they're full of shit that's your decision. But read them yourself, don't let the MSM tell you what's credible and what's not, because their credibility is bullshit! Make up your own mind!
"Cheese Pizza" stands for CP, which means child porn in pedo slang. You've got these Instagram posts of kids in sexy poses with pedos making comments like "nice pizza". The Comet Pizza logo incorporates pedo iconage. And most damning of all, the NYT is standing up for its powerful friends by publishing defending articles with unsourced allegations like "None of it was true."
A lot of us have been trained to spot bullshit online and the NYT is full of it. Where are their citations? When they make claims, where is the backup? The whole thing didn't start from crazy citizens, it started from the hacked emails where there were very strange references to "pizza" in situations where it didn't belong. When powerful people tell you to stop doing something and there's nothing to see here, you do the opposite.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
Because reddit has realised that angry, toxic crazies are making it miserable for the more sane majority - yet choosing to defend the crazies from the sane majority of Trump supporters
You mean the crazies that have stolen cars just for being white owned ("We caught a Trump!") or vandalized for having a Trump sticker (where a silver Mustang was burned & spray-painted)? Or would you like to talk about the crazies in UNC Chapel Hill that called for actions against Pence?
There went your narrative with those pesky facts.
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
