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

    When I created r/WorkReform I did NOT expect it to explode to near 500k members. This shit is giganormous and I simply do not have the qualifications to keep on going at this stage, there's too much to learn in such a small time frame that is being forced down my throat by the admins.

      I take a less harsh view, it sounds like he was absolutely being rushed or abused by the staff. I don't like this idea of some ordinary person just trying to make an alternative to the cringe, then getting demands from above to the extent that he's too stressed to function.
