You do have rights regarding issues of libel and slander, which seem to be the acts Reddit staff engaged in according to the description the user provided. (The language implies explicit acts in public intended to cause harms)

Really, y'all need to stop this stuff. You scare people from action and so things only get worse.

Absolutely nothing in the linked article rises to the level of libel or slander, as far as I can tell. Perhaps it's hiding behind "I don't want to publicly share the details".

(Unless you're referring to the situation with Apollo's developer and the recorded conversations. That might. Maybe.)

Follow the thread back to the preceding comments.

The topic ain't what's in the article, it's what the user says they experienced...

Right?

The user won’t say what they experienced. “reddit retaliating against me” could encompass anything from “they gave me a flair that said ‘poopy head’” to “they sent assassins to kill me”. Some of that spectrum is legal, some isn’t.

Lots of mean, bad things are still entirely legal.
