reddit threw away Aaron Swartz' ideals long ago. The current CEO is vehemently in favor of massive censorship, stealth edits posts he doesn't like and allows power moderators to blatantly peddle influence on the largest subreddits. The top power mods, particularly the user /u/maxwellhill, spends their entire day spamming political articles to non-political subreddits he moderates in violation of his own rules. If I stepped into pure speculation mode, I don't think this account is even a single person. It's certainly compromised in any sense. Then there's reddit admins (employees of the company) taking steps to remove and censor posts critical of China's coronavirus response after taking a huge investment from Tencent.
