However, I wish the Reddit co-founder was also against Internet mob justice. It's great for the site because it brings clicks and readers..but not good for our society or the people it targets.
My observation has been that they're pretty hands-off even when things get out of control and they often drop into a thread or put up a blog response that almost chides the community for their overall actions.
Perhaps their (mostly) hands-off approach is what makes you think they're not against Internet mob justice? Any admin moderation leads to a Streisand effect giving the problem more visibility and it is very much a problem with the community at times.
