OK; he has such a need for control that he modified toxic comments directed at him.

On November 23, 2016, a member of a subreddit dedicated to Donald Trump, /r/The_Donald, posted evidence indicating that Reddit administrators had modified multiple user comments inside the subreddit. Following this post, Huffman took responsibility for the comment modifications, writing, "Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won't do this again." His administrative modifications involved changing one specific insulting phrase, in several comments, to make them appear as if the insults were directed toward the moderators of the subreddit instead of him.

You might not like Ellen Pao, but it's funny that the NBA sided with her comments against him in 2020:

When moderators protested in 2023, Spez compared them to Landed Gentry.

“And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.”

Reddit was founded in 2005. In January of 2008, Reddit decides to let users create their own custom reddits, or subreddits.

So the Landed Gentry are from 2008 + (15 years). How many Parent-to-child hand-offs can you really expect in that time?

He belittles volunteers (moderators). He has manipulated the site. He is currently scrubbing the site of disparaging comments about himself now.

He is not someone to volunteer your services for. Moderation is like gardening. It's a never-ending activity of pulling weeds.
