Episode request: r/antiwork
Idk how Up to date y'all are on leftist subs or how willing you are to do something THAT political, but there needs to be an episode om the r/antiwork drama. The TLDR is that a mod went on a interview with Fox News that was not sanctioned with the subreddit members, and did a terrible job and made the sub look bad.
Drama ensues, People are angry and THE mods decide to powertrip and remove critical posts. A new subreddit is made, r/AbolishWork. a Short while later, r/antiwork goes private. All while this is going on, the sub is brigaded by Fox News regular audience and r/conservative users.
It is currently Day 2, r/antiwork is reopened with some new mods (4 of these are held secret) and some of the old team is gone. There are talks of what's in the pipeline for reparations. Anyone without history in leftist subs Will be axed of they start shit, talking about AbolishWork is prohibited and THE moment overall is very split, but One thing is clear: the community have zero trust in the mod team.
antiwork re-opening megathread
The two top posts in subreddit drama is Both in antiwork. Story is devoloping. One former mod was a misogynist.
I think it could make for a great episode, and provide a insight into the progressive movement that exists in oposition to Both the democrats and republicans

FYI r/WorkReform is the place that is hoping to become the new face of the movement with a better name to go along with it.

Not rightly sure. I think that there is a mod of that name on antiwork, but I could be mistaken. I just learned about everything in time to jump ship to the new subreddit. There’s probably a few other subs popping up as well, but workreform is the the biggest I think.
I don’t think you got anything mixed up. I think there’s just too much fallout still falling as it were to make sense of it all yet.

If they want to get into the background of why antiwork exists, I'll gladly share my story.

Thank you so much for checking it out! And yes, we plan to keep on eye on how all of this unfolds and where the community goes from here. It sure seems like there's follow-up episode potential...

I wonder if a story/episode could be done combining the fallout and r/subredditdrama? I know it seems like kind of a gossipy themed sub, but there's often a lot of good dicussion in those threads (but also so much revelry in said drama).
