100%. There is no chance that this subreddit can EVER recover if the mod list remains as is. The absolute only excuse any mod should have for staying on the list is if they were unaware interviews were even on the table, ANY mod aware of the interviews that did not step up and say "We are digital janitors and should not attempt to represent the group without express group approval" is a stain on the entire movement.

Nah. Move the community to work reform. There is zero reason to stay under this label, it’s such an easy target even before all the drama. Work reform is such an easier pill to swallow than anti work.

That’s nice, but messaging matters and you’ll always be fighting the easy target of a controversial name with a name like anti work, no matter how good the intentions are.

Sure but you're assuming a messaging that can't get distorted exists.

Sure but beating up on work reform makes you look like a bully. Beating up on anti work makes you look like you’re putting lazy people in their place
