that shit was fuckin wild. i'm not saying it was their fault, but i do think the moderation team made a mistake by not inscribing an explicitly anarchist line in policy and just letting it be a "big tent" because the allure of being a really popular, important subreddit was too great.
They weren’t ready to deal with feds at all and they also didn’t enforce their own media rules. That mod who went on Fox was an embarrassment and a joke.
Shouldn’t be surprised since they also went out of their way to ban Marxists, AnComs, and Syndicalists in the weeks leading up to the op.
Big progressive tent with everyone except the left.
no kidding, I got banned from there because "tankie = bad" when I pointed out that in the first world, total abolition of work would just mean stealing labor from the third world
i wasnt saying an individual shouldnt label themselves as communist/anarchist, but that the movement as a whole shouldnt use those labels. i dont know the full history of that sub except that it turned into a shitshow.
sure it's smart if you just wanna have a forum for people to bitch about their jobs, fine, nothing wrong with that I guess, but then you can't be surprised when you say something radical and the users all want you kicked out.
they opped themselves, truly embarrassing. I'm not anti-work, i'm pro-worker. In the current conditions we should be pushing for 100% employment and worker control of production, not UBI social imperialist utopianism
remember the op they did to squash r/antiwork when it was ballooning? I do

they could have, but they wanted it to be popular and that wouldn't have done it. it's smart to do anarchist or commie shit and not label it as such.
They were also actively banning communists and revolutionary anarchists (in particular Syndicalists).
I get not labeling yourself as communist on reddit, but they also were pruning out the leftwing of their community

yeah for sure, I’m agreeing with you, sorry if that wasn’t clear. Probably still salty about being banned from there hah
They were banning Marxists and “tankies”
