You need to be a particularly heinous kind of bottom feeder to make the behavior of Reddit's staff appear commendable.

Reminder to use a vpn when discussing anything less than legal and make an alt account just for it, that is only accessed via vpn (One that ideally keeps, more or less, no logs or other things to trace you back). It would be ideal even if the users were exposed that they were all exclusively using vpns making it useless, but knowing the average person's opsec, it's probably their main account and we would be getting the names and adresses of most of them.
