Holy shit! I didn't know about all that stuff that happened to work reform. I think that it may be better for me to stay and watch over actions of mods who will be maintaining the community instead of throwing all that responsibility on the admins of the instance.

Yeah there was a sticky post detailing all of it on r/workers_revolt, but like I say it all got swept under the rug. Obviously, the creator/mod had some culpability, because they gave full admin to someone else, but still. Also, the new mods of r/workreform banned people for talking about it.

Edit: If you scroll down to the first posts on r/work_reform you can see some stuff about it, but most of the main posts and their allegations were removed.

I managed to ~~think~~ find this copy of a post that he made. I don't think that I should ask him to be a mod there. You mentioned that he later decided to create "workers revolt" so maybe he changes his mind, idk. The copy:

Hey everyone, I know this might disappoint some of you all, but I've decided to give up moderation.

This shit is too stressful, I had to call work and take some days off, and in return I got absolutely nothing. Moderating this sub has literally cost me money. I don't see how being in this position is going to benefit me in my life, ever.

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 spent countless and countless hours trying to filter out the posts, comments, modmail, and all that, but seriously it's just too exhausting. Oh and that's without taking into consideration all the death threats I've been getting and all the fucking cringers scrutinizing my entire life and doxxing me all around reddit.

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.

Anyway, now I can go back to my normal life I guess. It was definitely a wild ride. Thanks to everyone who has been supportive of me, I will forever remember you. I'm still gonna be around, just not as a mod. Y'all take care, this movement is never going to die.

Tbh I could be wrong about him starting workers_revolt, however it certainly was the case that he was pushed out by admin in favour of powermods.
