Here's a site that recovered some comments that were removed.
There are a few there that express "hatred" per predditor standards. If that is against the 3d printing sub's rules, then I could see where a typical preddit mod would just take the "y'all can't behave" route.
I can believe that. And I honestly don't even have a problem with pruning nasty comments in a sub like that. I would expect a Reddit sub on 3D printing to not be nearly as spicy as some place like here.
What irked me was the mod's reason for locking the thread said:
Nearly all of the comments are simply hate
Which is complete BS. People saying "my prototype appeared on Alibaba within a day of me sending it to my Chinese manufacturer" isn't hate. It's accurately reporting behavior from a country that doesn't honor intellectual property in any way shape or form.
I scanned almost the entire reply section and didn't see a single ethnic slur or slanderous comment. I saw:
Reddit is so fucking PC that calling China out using the truth is considered insulting.
Reddit is partly owned by China. Can’t upset the overlords.
