Tldr; Antiworks is back from blackout and the mods are not sure what’s coming next, but will start pushing updates soon.

    Statement From The Moderators Hello, r/antiwork! As you’re probably aware, r/antiwork has been set to private until recently in solidarity with the sitewide protest against Reddit’s attempt to kill third-party apps. At the start of the protest, we received assurance from Reddit administration that mods have a right to protest and to set their subs private. Today, we received a message from Reddit that our mod team will be replaced if we do not open up the subreddit immediately.

    The important takeaway here is Reddit does not care about this community and Reddit does not care about you. They see you as nothing more than a statistic to monetize. They do not care about the quality of this community. They do not care about the desires of the community or the mod team. We set the subreddit private to protect the community from the changes Reddit intends to force through, and Reddit is forcing the subreddit open because a worse user experience for you is more profitable for them.

    Going forward, the mod team is going to lose some very important tools that we’ve relied on to keep you safe from spammers and scammers. This means we’re going to have to reassess our rules and procedures in order to serve you more effectively. The mod team will keep you updated on any developments. We thank you for your understanding.

    Many thanks,

    The r/antiwork mod team

    Just leave. At this point you are no longer antiwork. You are prowork for scum. Leave reddit and never return. This is reddits digg moment.

    Do not fall for their shit

      I’m not. I’m fully bought into lemmy.

      Now. Is there any way to grow lemmy’s antiwork based on r/antiwork?

    I feel like every mod ignoring instructions and getting removed would lead to the best outcome in terms of damage to the platform but some still believe there’s no alternative and want to hold on to their mod position (whether it be for the sake of users or for themselves).

      I’d be interested to hear any current mod make a case for themself sticking around, opening up their sub again, in order to keep their role.

      Genuinely, I can’t understand why they’d do that. I’m just a user, not a mod, but the changes were enough to make me delete my account. Maybe that’s it, it’s their feeling of loss that stops them leaving.
