If I want to replace what I posted with seventy five consecutive poop emojis, I am fully in my right to. Coupled with the right to be forgotten and the illegality for reddit to prevent me from doing so, it serves as a perfect tool to poison LLMs.

It's not "hacking", or in any way unlawful, for a user to use an option provided by a company. I predict that if they want to do something about this they'll go the HN route and just make posts uneditable/undeleteable after some time.
