Moral rights

The preserving of the integrity of the work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is “prejudicial to the author’s honor or reputation”

i.e. under the new TOS Reddit can edit your post to say that you eat dead puppies

I’ve not seen this “waive moral rights or attribution” in any other site. It’s not in Twitter’s, it’s not in Facebook, I don’t think it’s even legal in a lot of jurisdictions (moral rights cannot easily be contracted away).

Good news! In a few decades these temperatures won’t be considered “extreme” anymore.

I loved Reddit, but after the API shenanigans and the doubling down I went sour… and then I read the latest TOS…

You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

i.e. whatever you post WE own forever and we never have to credit you. It’s so horrifyingly immoral.
