Report these comments for "sharing personal information". I am genuinely surprised that Reddit would ban for sharing names.
I think we have an opportunity here to cause significant drama across all of Reddit. They'll blame /u/spez for colluding with Musk and Trump. They'll call Reddit a right-wing website now.

If you read the whole sentence it includes the context 'death threats', as in 'death threats coupled with doxxing'. And the posting of public info coupled with the threats will absolutely be used against them in a court of law to show intent and actionability of the threats.
No, he didn't Half of this screenshot is far more than 'post their names', and this is mild compared to what WPT was also posting.

If you follow your link, you'll see a link to this tweet where he says 'It is against the law' in reply to something saying 'doxxing and threatening federal employees.' Emphasis mine.
We can very clearly see this is more than just naming people.
In fact your article even remarks on it:
So, clearly he didn't 'literally' claim it was illegal to post their names

Posting the home address of a private figure in this context is stalking and harassment. You could maybe argue in other contexts that they are a limited purpose public figure if the purpose were valid protest of their public political statements on social media. However, the context of the doxing in this is very clear: they are being retaliated against by political opposition for working in a non-public capacity for someone libs don't like, and the expressed intent is to solicit retaliation to inspire fear to discourage their work and that of future employees. That's basically textbook stalking and harassment, and the death threats are legally terroristic in nature.
If they were politicians, or even political appointments, it could be argued they are public figures. But they are definitely not! These are private fricking citizens, not known for their social media content but attacked as a result of their identities as employees being leaked via legal findings.
Yes, doxing is fairly legal if you are doxing some Internet r-slur that acts obnoxiously in public. That's different than doxing a private contractor to a commission created by executive branch memorandum as part of a mob issuing terrorist threats and engaging in political retaliation.

when you join a mentally ill proto-fascist gang you become a public official lb. either way he claimed someone posting their name was illegal, it's not actually illegal to do any of this.

It can in fact be stalking and harassment to simply post a private citizen's name with the expectation of soliciting third party retaliation against them. In this instance, that's definitely the intent of doing so.
Rhetoric like this can be used against literally any agency. I would argue that the FBI is a proto-fascist gang, and certainly acts like one a lot more than Elon's DOGE.
No, a secretary at the FBI is not a public official. There is a very narrow definition of public official and someone in an administrative or research role, as these guys getting doxed are, does not qualify, no ifs ands or buts.
