The League of Extraordinary Trolls is a group of extremely well-organized and rabidly dedicated SJW vigilantes and cyberstalkers on Reddit who want to purge anyone who doesn't subscribe to their far left SJW ideology from the platform. The League Trolls basically want to turn Reddit into into an SJW-only platform. In 2018, the League Trolls met with Reddit developers in private at the Reddit HQs, feeding them the SJW party line about how Reddit have an obligation to keep their users safe on their platform by shielding them from opposing views. That's what League Troll /u/Bardfinn literally said in this Twitter thread, that he wants Reddit to adopt Twitter-like blocking features, including BlockTogether-style blacklists that he urged Reddit to implement in this thread where he was called out by Reddit users for wanting to turn Reddit into a safespace hugbox. People used go to Reddit because it was long considered a Debate Central free speech website online, but The League Trolls are here to not only /r/WatchRedditDie but to help euthanize Reddit a little faster.

The League of Extraordinary Trolls has two faces, one is private face and other the public one they show to the media to distract and misdirect. The media will tell you that the Lague Trolls are a group of harmless pranksters on Reddit who hijack "hate-subs" and turn them into comedy subs. An example of this was their hijacking of /r/Faggots, which was Milo Yiannopoulos' sub, and turning it into a comedy sub about "a bundle of sticks" (the homonym for "fags").

The private face of the League is more sinister. The League runs a subreddit called /r/QueersAgainstHateSubs which widely recognized amongst Redditors as the subreddit you go to in order to dig up dirt on your enemies. Quote from a Reddit user: "They [QueersAgainstHateSubs] will dig up dirt like it's nobody's business."

The main moderator of this sub, a pre-op transwoman from Garland, TX who goes by Penelope Verity Oaken aka /u/Bardfinn (a powermod who is currently cybersquatting 50+ subs either alone or together with other League Trolls) is privately running a fully automated industrialized data-mining operating using Reddit's API to cyberstalk users and mods he and others in /r/QueerAgainstHateSubs don't like. Penny claims that this is "research" using public information, but Penny is not a researcher and this data is not readily available unless you have API access. None of Penny's software or research is public or open source, it is not announced anywhere or explained anywhere, everything is done in secret behind the Reddit users' and mods' backs, with no one giving prior consent to anything or even being made aware of the fact that Penny is secretly data-mining them. Penny claims to have had private conversations with Reddit's Steve Huffman about his secret data-mining project, so presumably Steve Huffman is aware of all this and Penny is cyberstalking and data-mining Steve's users with his full blessings.

Penny abuses his access to Reddit's API (Application Programming Interface, a protocol that programmers use to access data from web servers quickly and efficiently) to dig up embarassing information about someone's use of the website (f.e., if they have participated on a subreddit that's considered problematic or controversial amongst SJWs, like /r/conspiracy or /r/conservative), and then Penny will corner the unsuspecting hapless user in the comments while holding up his "loot" to their face, saying something along the lines of: "I see you have been participating in /r/Noneofyourbusiness and /r/Mindyourownbusiness.". Penny does this to intimidate his political enemies and to cause a chilling effect, openly violating their privacy to discourage them from using the website the way it's intended to be used. It's essentially an automated mass-cyberstalking campaign in blatant violation of Reddit's own rules conducted under the thin guise of "creating comedy subs out of hate-subs". It specifically violates Section 7, which bars searchers accessing the API from using their research results in a way that compromises a user's privacy. Everything about this research, its secrecy, the reputation of the moderator's subreddit as being the place you go to on Reddit where "they dig up dirt like it's nobody's business", everything shows that this was designed and implemented to violate users' privacy.
