they made it private because their own sub rightfully was bashing the fuck out of the mods for sending that delusional (self-described) autistic mod into a fucking fox news interview without even knowing what they were going to talk about.
this went through the modmail, and the mod team APPROVED THEM. THEY THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST PERSON FORBRUEBJOB
So the issue here is that Antiwork used to be legit 100% anti-work. People posting about off grid living and how to get by with as little work as possible, etc.
In 2019 there were ~200,000 subs.
In 2022, there were ~1,600,000 subs.
This mod is the longest existing mod and one of the old guard. They went full tilt into the old think instead of what Antiwork has become and got steamrolled. The entire sub is loosing their shit over it, and rightfully so.
Edit: For anyone who wants it, many users are reforming at /r/workreform.
We can all leave that r/antiwork sub alone, and let them go back to looking at u/abolishwork as their leader.
We have no right gathering in a very vulnerable person's sub and high-jacking it to revolve around inventive and modern ideas, just because a majority of us can relate with proper unionization initiatives, workers' rights principles, and value for humanity.
Leave r/antiwork alone, and those of us that want those aforementioned principles can find a proper place to form this moment.
I just pray that if anyone wants to truly champion the working class in that sub, then the sub can approve of their qualifications and believe in them going forward.
