  You were one of the people who had a comment edited in that 1 hour period mentioned in that news article? Or are you saying there was a different comment editing incident? If so, that would be big news. He promised not to do it again, so if he did, he's breaking a promise, and I think that would be pretty newsworthy. > "As the CEO, I shouldn’t play such games, and it’s all fixed now.

I have commented that they should try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_(PaaS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_(PaaS) but I guess they didn't click the link and then they have altered the meaning of my comment.

      Have you tried contacting anyone about this? Maybe post about it in a subreddit, or talk to a journalist that previously covered the other editing? Or contact reddit pr or an admin? This seems like a pretty big deal, especially given his previous promise to stop editing comments.

        I have posted it in the same subreddit and it received few replies, one of the redditors said that he remembered my original comment. Nothing happened. I did not contact other people becouse I had no proof.
