A comment on Ubiquiti all but confirms breach response iniquity.

On this subject, does anyone know what is up with the reddit sub, r/ubiquiti? Seems to be run by u/briellie. She(?) seems like a really toxic person with some kind of business relationship with Ubiquiti like a reseller or something.

The Reddit sub seems like they are actively trying to suppress discussion of this issue. There's some allegations of censorship on the sub, but I'm not seeing it... which might actually just be confirmation that they are censoring. I don't know.

There was a recent discussion[1] on the sub with 1K upvotes and over 500 comments about the breach and I routinely see unabated salty posts and comments about Ubiquiti's downward spiral. I have lurked on the sub for several years (I manage a bunch of Ubiquiti gear) and I never got the impression people were being censored or moderated into submission.

Are there any particular examples of suppression or links to the allegations of censorship? The sub did recently begin allowing equipment picture posts again by popular demand. [2] I suppose an uncharitable interpretation is that that move was appeasement to distract from the breach issue.
