    You think that interview didn’t matter? It basically killed the entire conversation about wage/labor imbalance. And that had zero to do with that mods gender, but with that mods absolute stupidity, regardless of gender

      This is so melodramatic lol

      It “killed” nothing. That was one bad mod vs. a bunch of users who were determined to self destruct.

        They abandoned the main AntiWork subreddit and split the entire community in two.

          Yeah, whatever happened was a totally disproportionate response to a single bad interview for an audience of people who were never likely to support the movement in the first place.

          I guess it’s super hard to put one’s personal feelings aside for the greater good, and it’s frighteningly easy to get drawn into dogpiling and scapegoating a single person rather than pausing and reflecting on forming a more constructive response.

          Neither of the communities ever really recovered from that, and in my opinion that says a lot more about the myriad users than it does about one mod.
