Site with over a million users and one of the biggest agitprop vehicles of the last five years and now it's private. Lol. Lmao.
Edit: Ok, now the mods are saying making the site private is only temporary while they "deal with the cleanup from ongoing brigading."
Honestly not surprised that it happened, but I didn't anticipate how it would happen. What a shitshow.
What was the thing that....er, happened? I'm not up on all the recent subreddit drama.
A mod was interviewed by FOX News, did badly and apparently the users disliked that enough for the mods to react that way
Was the mod the one that wanted to ban communists on sight?
Wouldn't surprise me. That one called themselves post-left and posted unironic anprim stuff.
People there are advertising a new sub called "workreform" which sounds even more liberal and seems really fucking suspicious
Edit: lmao I was right
The head mod of that sub has posted copaganda, so yeah.
yup
Wait, seriously? They (the 'post left' mod) had been modded only a few weeks ago… :amogus:
It is not the post left mod, at least not the one that was posted here recently
Just a heads up that the mod in question is trans
Oh, my bad, I didn't even watch the video.
It's cool, comrade 👍
I don't know

Oh shit duh, I was reading that thread earlier today and didn't put 2 and 2 together. That just glossed right over me when I read the comment I originally replied to.
The reason I think it was an OP is because I can't think of how you could have done the interview any worse if you were indeed trying to sabotage the movement. The interviewer even made the background of their house (didn't use a false background) as messy as possible. Anybody who goes on TV knows millions of people are going to see them only at a glance and make a snap judgement, the interviewee went out of their way to make the quick look at themselves as bad as possible.
I agree. It's completely unrealistic to think that Reddit mods of all people actually represent the left or the working class, especially on such a high-traffic sub. In one fell swoop the entire subreddit looked as bad as possible and destroyed any of its credibility, and it was all because of the mod team.
