    If Parler got tossed off the internet for allowing these people to coordinate and riot at the Capitol building, then Facebook should be one hundred times as guilty by volume.

      I really, really hope they comb through modmail in a number of subs. Modmail alongside reddit's permanently stored IPs of the device an account was made from should strongly help identifying individual people.

      A lot of the incoming modmail in political subreddits will surely also be super interesting. Modmail can't be deleted or edited, so it's all there as a permanent record.

      A lot of other data at reddit can be erased in ways where it isn't retained and can't be officially restored (although many external sites claim to permanently store all original comments made).

      I'm very curious what private subreddits have done in relation to these events. There are surely treasure troves there in closed communities.
