I can remember it being discussed on this forum many years ago. Yet, I keep seeing these claims that Reddit has totally cleaned up its act in this respect.

I wonder what else is lurking there in its many subreddits.

I don't know if agencies that deal with investigating this kind of thing would be interested. I couldn't see the posts-- given I'm not registered there-- but I get the gist. It is possible it is considered too tame compared to the worst of the worst on the dark web, but Reddit ought to be publicly called out for it at least.
