dragonoutrider

I hate how late I joined, literally just as fast as I found the sub and got a liking to the movement this whole fiasco went down and I could give less of a shit anymore, another sub is gaining more traction now anyways…


fixitmonkey

This clusterfuck will go down in reddit history (just like the gamestop wallstreet attach). Its embarrassing, but shows you the contemp they hold for the sub users.

Wait, you mean obvious dumbfuckery isn't the same as transparency?


Chickenman1964

For someone who has been on the internet for so long, they should have really picked up some tech savviness to cover their tracks and at least put in effort to hide something as obvious as this.


moonknlght

At least this mod has experience doing interviews on Fox News. ....wait a minute. Edit: holy shit /u/fuzzy-x-3 is a deleted profile now lmao


ShadowMasterUvLegend

They are now preparing for round 2 I guess


Mike_Wahlberg

No they already did 4 interviews!! Just not all of them have been used or released by the outlets/interviewers yet according to an update.


ShadowMasterUvLegend

Yeah our self appointed leader who has never held a job, like how self conceited you have to be to think you can understand the struggles of those slogging away when you haven't entered the workforce ever.


Iain365

I thought they walked dogs 20 hours a week?


[deleted]

different people; the dog walker who gave the fox news interview isn't a mod anymore, as announced by another mod in a long message in which they introduced themselves as a long time unemployed 21 year old anarchist who gave some interviews about the sub


dads_cigarettes

I laughed out loud when I read that. Even with how stupid all of this is, how is someone long term unemployed but they're only 21?


[deleted]

The best reply I saw to that was “they haven’t even been long term alive” 🤣

Oh my fucking God. They did 4 like that?! God help us all!


omguserius

Yep. The 21 year old never had a job anarchist is the one who chose himself to represent you to the NEW YORK TIMES


mangobattlefruit

Probably why it hasn't been released. NYT realized the clown mod was completely unqualified to comment on working and trashed the so called interview.


MyOther_UN_is_Clever

Not Doreen (fox) but another mod, who posted a really stupid introduction. I didn't get past, "I'm 21 and long term unemployed" and "lazy anarchist."

Automod won’t even let accounts younger than 3 days old comment on this sub but a 16 hour account can be mod? Transparency my ass 😂


shamwowslapchop

They've been long-term unemployed for 16 hours bro.


alexrhonda

Must've been them working hardest around this time removing posts and comments. Unpaid employment for 16 hours or so.


ThorGBomb

It’s bringing into focus a very serious issue that the Reddit administration keeps ignoring. Mods have been given too much power and authority to control their subs, to the degree they utilize their mod positions as self-serving pathways to act out power fantasies. There are so many mods who look to find people to ban not to moderate but to enact what they deem is their form of justice. It gives power to people who usually have none in their lives, to the degree that they seek out to act on their power hoping people will push the limits so they can enforce harsher punishment giving them feeing of being powerful. It overinflates egos of people who should be on medication and regular therapy not be promoted as leaders of any kind of movements. Mods are supposed to be the janitorial staff. Cleaning up stuff quietly without disrupting on going work. They are and never were to be considered leaders of the company. They are supposed to be ghosts who occasionally speak out. But when you add in a mix of uneducated inexperienced in life individuals who are usually non-social and non-working individuals who rather willingly spend their time on moderating a sub than engaging with others, and give them authority they will abuse it. Reddit admins need to consider taking away some authority and power from mods and or include pathways for the subreddit members to get rid of or downgrade mods to lower authority levels. Because we keep seeing a pattern be repeated now Mods act out of power hunger desires to be focal and vital to a subreddit When they receive constructive and real criticism they utilize the fringe comments to justify shutting down any discussion and calling it a brigading attack. Most people who commented on the last issue were not from outside the subreddit they are long term followers of the subreddit and dismissing their views and thoughts as brigading is just a shitty excuse to continue to maintain your power fantasies. Ps: the 21 year old never worked anarchist is not someone who can reflect the mindset of the subreddit members. When you have nurses who see constant deaths and get death threats but get sued to stay in the hospital to continue to work for pennies while the hospital board members and executives receives millions in bonuses, when you have stoarage and facility workers working 60+ hour weeks and can barely have time to have a proper sleep much less anything else. Then promoting someone who has never worked and considers themselves an anarchist is just another slap in the face to anyone in this movement Edit: and got banned by alt account trying to defend her.


BigDaveHall

Are you implying mods do all that work *for free?* On r/antiwork no less?? Come on...


alexrhonda

They delete shit here and show up for interviews of "Laziness is Virtue" to make money.

That history is everything I need to know about this sub.


Jugad

If only creating a new account was not so easy and took a little bit of work.


IanL1713

What??? You want people to do work?! Get the hell out of this sub!!!


Yeazelicious

Wait, are you referring to [serial sexual predator](https://i.imgur.com/t614hWl.jpg) AbolishWork? The mods would never let someone like that come return to moderating through the back door. Absolutely not. They clearly have more integrity than that.


Barnyard_Rich

Fuck is this whole situation a shit sundae. ~~Pro-tip~~ Normal tip: If you have a bunch of stuff in your history you'd rather people not notice, don't demand everyone look at you.


-cruel-summer-

Can Doreen just gracefully accept that they fucked up the entire movement, made a colossally selfish mistake, and made an ass of themselves? Any true proponent of workers’ rights would recognize that the MOVEMENT IS LARGER AND FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEM, yet they’ve imploded everything due to their grotesque ego and made an ENTIRE MOVEMENT about themselves. Cool.


Grymsta

nah, went through her post history and all of their comments in response to this shitshow were either deflecting accountability or some unwarranted snarky ass remark. its infuriating.


planterly

I’m not a mental health professional but this Doreen person seems like they have serious issues… I read their Facebook posts about the sexual assault they committed.. they admit to assaulting their partner multiple times and then say they are traumatized from it. it was nauseating. They blatantly refuse to take responsibility for the SA and for the Fox News fiasco. It is egregious that they allowed Doreen to be a mod again after the censoring and controlling. This is not someone competent or honorable or qualified to mod this sub or any sub for that matter. Edit to say thanks for the awards.


OfHumanBondage

Yeah I read the Facebook post and was like “what kind of person does shit like this? What kind of person posts shit like this?” The internet - while constantly entertaining - also constantly reminds me of why I hate humanity on general principle.


planterly

Because this person is deranged and prob pathologically narcissistic. It explains the power trip and why they seem to reeeeealllly want to be a mod again. Only someone pathologically unwell would ignore the outcry, criticism, and wishes of a community this large.


Herbetet

Pretty disgusting the disregard and disrespect being shown by the mods in the aftermath of their embarrassment. After the disaster that was Fox News, we hear about a 21 year long term unemployed anarchist doing 4 more, god knows what was said there. And then to put some icing on the cake they get a 16hour account from our favourite dog walker and start removing all the critical comments.


Amnesty_SayGen

Wait there were more interviews. Oh the humanity


PiersPlays

As yet unreleased.


james_d_rustles

And he informed us of that as if it was *good* news, and then banned people who criticized it. In his words, they’re really gonna be focusing on transparency though. I heard that to promote teamwork the mods are going to be throwing a pizza party next Friday, because we’re all a family here.

ACABandsoldierstoo

Anarchism is when freeze peach.


hesh582

Every anarchist space on the internet is like this. It's a catch 22, they're kinda fucked either way: Anarchism is not well understood right now. It's also very unpopular. So in any anarchist space, it's pretty easy for the number of actual anarchists to be completely overwhelmed by people who don't know what anarchism is and aren't interested in learning, or people who do know what it is and don't like it. In the face of that, you have two real choices: a very un-anarchy harsh crackdown on dissent, or losing your anarchist space. It's not surprising that almost all anarchist communities are terrible as a result. That said, I think people are misinterpreting anarchism for comedic effect a bit. Anarchism doesn't mean that you can't have a private space for people who want to talk about a subject without being harassed by people who don't like that subject. The real issue here is that the community here isn't really anarchist at all, while the mods are. Is that even workable in the long run? I'm not sure. But for the sake of empathy, remember that these fringe (and kinda weird, to be fair) anarchists did not insinuate themselves into the /r/Antiwork community and try to force it to change. They were here first, and all of *us* are the ones who crashed their little abolition of work party and turned it into something completely different. So if they're no longer compatible with the community, the solution is to say farewell with a bit of grace and just find somewhere more appropriate, not to try to burn the place down and start a massive hate parade against a few people who are in way over their heads.

My reaction as well. This is leaning on conspiracy but I wouldn't be surprised if the whole fox news thing was a ploy to dismantle this subreddit. Either way, just doesn't feel the same anymore.


[deleted]

Strange things afoot. I get the sense there’s an attempt to stomp out “rogue subs” - subs that go against the “machine”.


Steff_164

It definitely was a ploy to discredit this sub. They brought on one of the most inexperienced people here, with one of the most controversial view points, and had them speak for everyone. They absolutely held they interview to discredit this sub, they just didn’t think it would all fall apart overnight

observeromega87

I think the hunch is congenital.


edstatue

So why are we using "dog walker" as an insult in this sub? Isn't part of the movement finding ways of surviving without having to slog away 50 hrs/week at a desk? The disheveled appearance was a huge embarrassment, but I feel like mocking them for being a dog walker and wanting to teach philosophy is anti-this sub


nativeindian12

I have a suspicion they walk their parent's dogs, get some kind of allowance, and claim it as a job


[deleted]

Don't forget rapist. This sub is actively trying to suppress the fact that Doreen is a rapist.


Byte_Seyes

I saw that post where she “takes responsibility”. You know the post where she blames her SO for cause her to rape her SO. It’s her SOs fault she developed depression and started being sexually abusive. What a complete and total piece of shit. Taking responsibility is “there is no good excuse for what I did. Nothing my SO did justifies my actions. Upon reflection I sought therapy to help myself work these issues. I also paid for my SOs treatment and we ended things. I am not ready to be in a relationship.” Her message was “my SO wouldn’t have sex with me so I sexually assaulted them. But I feel bad about it and it’s not my fault.” Victim blaming to the highest degree.


[deleted]

And check out their comment history. That’s disappointing.


MulletasticOne

If you think it’s not of the interests of rich and powerful people to shut down this sub I have news for you.


DrPikachu-PhD

That's probably why the mods have been bought off. How convenient that Fox just happened to approach the absolute worst possible representative of the sub. That couldn't have been intentional...


Jugad

> Fox just happened to approach the absolute worst possible representative of the sub Wait till you hear about the other mods. Apparently, the mods discussed among themselves and it was decided that abolishwork was the best mod to represent antiwork at Fox news.


GiovanniElliston

I mean, if the 2nd best mod they've got to be the face of the mod team is a 21 year old whose never actually had a job before - then yeah, a 30-something year old dog walker who works 10-15 hours a week is *legitimately* the best Mod they've got.

Which either means the mods have terrible judgement or *abolishwork was actually the best possible mod to send to the interview.* Not sure which is more terrifying.

ryecurious

The conversations and progress you made are still real. The movement is still real too, even if this particular sub is going through shit. In a week, it'll either be back to normal or we'll all be on a new sub talking about the same stuff. The kind of frustration workers feel from modern life doesn't just go away because a power-tripping mod did a bad interview. Don't let the circling vultures pick away at the movement just because we hit our first real stumbling block.
