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:
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.
Did you see my other comment?
