I've been a moderator over at Reddit for over a decade.
Personally I found Steve Huffman's claims to be disingenuous, deceptive, and self serving. I have no idea if there will ever be any consequences for that but I feel like Reddit would be a better place if there were.
- yanslookup 9y agoWhich claims? That Russian trolls used reddit to influence US voters?
- SiempreViernes 9y agoI would guess OP doubts that Reddit cares at all...
- realusername 9y agoReddit generally never acts on anything (whatever the subject) unless it appears in the news and they are in the spotlight. There's very rarely any proactive action from Reddit.
- chatmasta 9y agoThat’s because every time they make a change, no matter how small, they get a very loud reaction from pissed off users, many of whom generate the bulk of Reddit’s content.

- Quequau 9y agoYes. It's clear to me that the priorities and incentives that Reddit operates with are not those they talk about. So surely "Reddit cares" but it's ridiculous on its face to pretend that what they care about is what they're saying in public.
- criddell 9y agoConsequences for what? Everybody is lying about something on Reddit, why should Russian trolls be singled out?
- Quequau 9y agoI'm not singling out "Russian trolls" for lying on Reddit. I'm singling out Steve Huffman for lying on Reddit. Presumably there's a distinction.
- criddell 9y agoAs long as he doesn't hurt the stock price, I think he can say what he wants. CEO's aren't known for being the most honest and frank people in the planet.
