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.

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.
