A group of scammers is retaliating against me for exposing them and the Reddit admins and legal department completely ignore it.

I consulted with lawyers who told me that my only option is to spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to pursue each individual reddit account that’s doing it.

    That would be quite difficult due the nature of my project. But certainly I could calculate some; monetary and reputation.

      And can you prove the comments were false/lies/intending to mislead?

      For example, if you made a product which accidentally explodes and hurts someone, and they post about it on reddit, it wouldn’t be libel.

      If someone is telling lies, that would be grounds. But only worth it if theres significant repetitional harm.

      Also, what if people are in a different country? Different laws on libel?
