Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has confessed to modifying the posts of some users on the most visible Donald Trump-supporting "subreddit" community after they repeatedly slung verbal abuse in his direction.

 The story begins earlier this week, when The New York Times published a report on Comet Ping Pong, a Washington DC pizza place that a false news item on social media had pegged as the center of a child-abuse ring run by Hillary Clinton and Democratic National Committee chair John Podesta, despite a lack of any evidence.

Angry "The _Donald" members accused Reddit leadership of modifying or otherwise censoring their posts — which turned out to be correct, when Huffman posted the following comment, confessing that it was him personally who was performing the changes (with expletives taken out):

"Hey Everyone,

Yep. 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. As much as we try to maintain a good relationship with you all, it does get old getting called a pedophile constantly. As the CEO, I shouldn’t play such games, and it’s all fixed now. Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won’t do this again.

F**k u/spez."

Remember when Reddit thought Ellen Pao was a satanic free speech erasing book burner who was at the forefront of eroding the first amendment, then she got shitcanned and it turned out she actually fought against the mass quarantine, and now this guy runs it? Good times.

Yeah, pretty much set up to fail. That woman involved with all the celebrity AMAs was also fired around that time and they pinned it on Ellen Pao too.

In their defense she's a woman, non white and probably a raging SWJ feminazi since she sued her former employer for discrimination and harassment.

With her cursus and qualifications, she's probably enjoying having a job far from moronic internet plebs now.
