From the post:
Also, thanks to reddit admins for pressuring me out of this position. I had the intention of appointing moderators democratically but they pretty much are forcing us to appoint mods today and I refuse to go against the principles that I promised the community that I'd be doing. Huge fucking let down and I apologize for it.
This gives the staff even more direct control than usual over the narrative IMO
The head mods are all bankers and liberal democracy fetishists. Reddit’s won this cooption pretty thoroughly
Edit: btw r/WorkersRiseUp is where you oughta be directing people
Are you referring to the other three that are currently on the mod list? Dunno where they came from, but I can only assume the "in-crowd" of staff and mega-moderators are going to completely control that subreddit now, which is bad
Fuck, now THAT sub is showing as private.
I think the pretty good one was actually called /r/WorkersStrikeBack
