    reddit has always had a policy to mute or ban subs that break certain rules and the moderators don’t moderate… reddit site-wide rules such as doxxing or calls the violence.
    i’d argue it’s not doxxing as they’re doing things only public figures should be doing… but comments about shooting them in the head has always been a no-go on reddit….
    when the sub was called out publicly, i reckon a lot of magats went on and hit the report button.
    ….
    it’s not really a big deal… the big deal is them accessing the u.s. treasury computers and ALREADY modifying a “significant” amount of code.
    btw, anyone who programs can tell that means they’re either extremely reckless, or they had previous access to the system and source code.
    they couldn’t even read that much code over a weekend, let alone understand it enough to modify it significantly….
    this very detail is the smoking gun, actually…
