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."

    Every time I browsed that sub, the posts with the most upvotes were the "professional" workers, mostly tech guys about how their 75k job sucked and how they easily found another job that payed better. The few posts from low payed workers were lucky to get 1k upvotes, any posts trying to radicalise the movement were lucky to get over 100 upvotes. With this group of users on that sub and anarchists mods, it was bound to go nowhere and get taken over by libs.

      That was what helped me realize how ridiculous the sub was. That they considered it a victory for the workers every time some disphit techbro bragged about doubling his salary by changing his cakewalk job. It just looked like a hug box / sneer club to me. As I said before: a place for liberals to get their dopamine hits + use that moral outrage to think of themselves as radical despite not being part of any political project.
