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.

No.

Or are you saying there was a different comment editing incident?

Yes. I have commented that they should try 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. At that point of time I was aware that Huffman have edited some comments in Reddit in the past, from the news. Thus I was not surprised.


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.
