Edit 12th may — Reddit moderation and the named individual lexical / zakary / aglimpseoftruth / chevron / bakerboi / HDVinnie / Nelso?

I am adding this section because a top-pinned moderator comment from ''him'' on a recent FNP-related thread contains statements that contradict what I directly know to have happened, and contradicts that individual's own previously stated positions, which are also captured in the screenshots.

Top-pinned comment in question: https://ibb.co/Vcs79Lp1

In the album you can all see below, The individual states in their own words that they "extorted the fuck" out of ''someone''. I take them at their word on that. Again, those are their words, not mine, captured in the screenshot.

The album below contains additional screenshots showing the same individual moderating FNP-related discussion in ways that contradict their previously stated positions, leaving up commentary that was previously removed when payments were active.

Album: https://ibb.co/album/YcVkxX

Notable items in the album: a negative Google search result about FNP that had previously been removed from the relevant subreddit along with others reappeared in the days or weeks before i reached my final breaking point. The timing of that reappearance, after an extended period during which it had remained unavailable, is, in my reading, consistent with the broader pattern described in this addendum and in Section 3 of the main statement. The removal-and-reappearance pattern is documented in the album for the reader to examine and draw their own conclusions.

I am not going to characterise the relationship between this individual and any other party named in the main statement as now we have more names coming into play and screenshots. I am also not going to assert that any present-day Reddit moderator is currently being paid by anyone. What I am putting on record is the observable pattern across the screenshots:

During the period in which I was paying this individual personally (Section 3 of the main statement), critical posts about FNP were removed.
After payments stopped, similar critical posts have remained visible and unchallenged.
Whether that pattern reflects a current arrangement, a past arrangement, an entirely independent moderation decision, or coordination with any other named party in my main statement - is not for me to assert. The screenshots are public. The contradictions are visible to anyone who opens the album. Readers can reach their own conclusions.

I will note only this, in my own words and as my own perspective: a community in which one person collects money privately while controlling visibility of related discussion publicly is not, in my view, the volunteer moderator role that subreddit users are led to believe they are reading from.
