Of course in this instance it appears the opposite happened and nobody knew Challenor (a pretty obscure figure whose political career probably deserves the past tense) was involved with Reddit at all until the modding Streisanded it.

Alexis Ohanian doesn't post under his real name, he posts under u/kn0thing. And it isn't a recent thing, that has been his username from the very beginning.
- notahacker 6y agoThat's why I said Alexis Ohanian or any admin that actually posts under their real name, yes. You can't dox the real life identity of a founder whose username is public knowledge, or somebody who posts under their real name and will be addressed with their real name in replies. You could dox a lot of the others. (All of which is moot anyway if the interventions were manual. Their PR would have been probably been a lot better blaming an anonymous human admin and reinstating the post too...)
