Ironic, isn’t it?
Considering /r/workreform was already a capitulation/liberalization of the original ideology of /r/antiwork (before its own liberalization) I am 100% not surprised
The first two mods of r/workreform were straight-up bankers. The minute they got called on it, their accounts mysteriously disappeared, and ‘new accounts’ started moderating-- wouldn’t surprise me if the same nouveau-elite scumbags were still in that modstaff somewhere, just on accounts that haven’t been RES-flagged yet.
In the future, there’ll be 2 professions: Cop and Infiltrator Cop.
it’s so crazy to me that they can get scabs for a job that doesn’t even get any pay.
I’m doing my most surprised Pikachu face right now.
I am a little lost here, is this about the reddit blackout? or is their something I am missing and they are anti-union, because I can see both.
I can’t say for sure. It’s possible some mods left because of the API pricing and the remaining ones are look for new mods to fill the vacancies.

Apparently if Reddit paid mods 20$ an hour, it would cost them 20 million a year. They made 1.2 billion dollars last year.
Just the very idea they make any profit despite utilizing almost universal unpaid labour is ridiculous. The only issue I see with moving forward is that the user base leaving that website and flocking to say… here; except for those willing to understand workers rights, anti-capitalism, or FOSS, the majority of new users seem to only seek to replicate Reddit, and honestly reddit as a whole has needed to rot off for a while thanks to not only the bots but the general and growing toxicity of the websites’ userbase and management seeking to continue that dopamine rush driven content stream and drama theatre.
I love this website for what it is even though I just arrived, I don’t want it to become reddit or replicate reddit, these people can’t seem to break their redditor addictions and see there can be something NEW here unrestricted by capitalistic profit desires. Hope they come around tbh.deleted by creator
I imagine this would lead to worse political oppression. Most of the people who run the big social media platforms are affiliated with secret services or the military. I can’t see them knowingly employing or giving discretion to anti-capitalists.

If I have to work for free, that’s hardly a reform.
