    For what it’s worth, I talked to the r/antiwork mods last night. With how big of an influx of users they have right now, it seems like they’re moderating pretty aggressively, but they haven’t given us a reason to think we’re not working toward the same thing: radicalizing libs and pipelining them into union activity and direct action

      That's what i don't get, making alternate subreddits in case the main gets nuked is okay, but if it gets banned then reddit will likely ban the alts as well like they did with cth. And if we make alternate subs because we think the og mods are libs, they've been involved with anarchist subs for a while.

        I'm pretty sure it's because people aren't sure about the mods. Reddit communities can be really hit-and-miss with moderation, usually much more on the side of miss, so many (myself included, honestly) assume the worst when they see things starting to be removed. Most people here aren't familiar with the mods there, so the general opinion of them is still developing.

          Yeah, that's what i assume as well with the "let's coup the sub" comments, but it takes a look at the sidebar to see that it's not even the anarcholibs who mod it.

            People don't necessarily know the mods as well as you do, though. A look at the sidebar might not mean much for many. I'm just saying, people just see Reddit and assume the worst.
