Jay Peters has been fantastic in his reporting on this, and generally stuck to observable facts. That Reddit is now being a bitch to him just further cements my impression of their leadership. They cannot even handle their own actions being described.
I’m glad The Verge are still covering this, even though Reddit is trying pretty hard to get them to stop.

In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary.
Lovely.
