      If i recall, at the time sub owners could designate anyone as a moderator without them having to accept the position, meaning that its very possible he was made a mod of the subreddit as a joke/troll but never actually interacted with it.

      Hes still a dipshit though

        Yep. Zach Braff’s AMA account was made a moderator for a bunch of hardcore porn subs. Probably still is.

        You would still expect better from a site’s founder than an actor who probably still had a Hotmail account at the time

        Correct. Early reddit you could add whoever you wanted as a mod to your subreddits, no invites required. This changed after a crab bucket subreddit was created and got up to several hundred mods re-adding anyone who left.

      Even if he wasn’t personally the moderator, his company knowingly hosted jailbait until it literally made the news and the entire world was protesting them.

      They ban advocacy subreddits for “promoting civil disobdiance,” but literal fucking pedophiles posting what fits the legal definition of CP in many countries (EU countries and Canada for example) were perfectly okay in their eyes.

      Even if he’s not a pedophile, he knowingly aided and covered for pedophiles. Same with the entire Reddit management.

      He is clearly steeped in 2000s chan culture, and jb was a big part of it at that time. It’s a big part of the reason I stopped using 4chan, because it got to the point where there was too much chance of randomly coming across that shit. Reading between the lines, it’s very likely that he’s a fucking pedo.
