I've suspected that the antiwork community on reddit is a honeypot, this just adds another bit of confirmation. Any actual direct action could be dangerous to the corporate masters, better to nip these things in the bud.

I think this was obvious a while back when the mod did that terrible interview, followed by redditors trying to migrate to another sub (workReform) only for the new subs mods to get kicked out by the reddit admins, and replaced with mods they want.

There was several posts about it in a short timeframe, but I think they tried to bury them.

At this point I'm convinced that ALL of Reddit had become compromised. It's been that way for at least three years, possibly longer.

Let's face it: whenever there's a point (online or irl) where millions upon millions of people would congregate to exchange ideas and discourse - ESPECIALLY anti-establishment rethoric - that point was going to be a frontline for the clash of ideologies.

And we all know which ideology has all the capital and elects to co-op everything, including criticism against itself.

When it’s well established that feds have been monitoring TOR exit nodes for like the last 5 years, I think it should be assumed stuff as easy as Reddit is monitored and astroturfed

They've had the ability to match Tor Exit node traffic to specific users since 2013 at the very least (snowden leaks talked about how they were able to crossreference certain metadata even without direct access to the exit node itself).

Timeframes escape the pasta colander of my mind

I thought Tor introduced bridges to counteract that.

Tor was developed with US military funding. It was a honeypot from the start.

r/antiwork censors all discussion of violence as defined by reddit ToS. (which is to say excluding state violence and institutional violence more generally, but including non-actionable guillotine jokes)

This in itself is only to be expected in order to not get the subreddit itself banned.

However, they also have an automod message to accompany this censorship which justifies it in leftist language, citing Against the Logic of the Guillotine, a perfectly valid leftist position, but far from the only one.

If they were honest, they'd just say it was about reddit ToS.

Leftest, the folks that usually call em that are republican boot lickers that will keep voting for their reps to rob em blind while fucking them in the ass

I feel like I'm watching an office burn down from a bus outside the property

A screenshot/link or any other evidence would add credibility to this post.

Screenshot would be better, that way we’re not driving traffic.

Plus the link just brings up RiF, which doesn't work. Don't think there's any way to fix that. No sir.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because you still have the app installed and set as the default for old.reddit.com links.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Well I'm certainly not going to uninstall one of my favorite apps just because Spez tells me to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yep that's fucked

More like a self parody. The memes they post are garbage tier Facebook memes, and the discussion would be dumb for a high school politics course.

Given that it is reddit though, it wouldn't surprise me if it really is just dumb teenagers who think "communism is when no work."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah it really was. It was pretty clear that the vast majority of users there just hated their boss / manager or whatever and had no idea of what better terms of employment might be realistic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

r/workreform definitely was

Any subreddit with more than a dozen users should be assumed to be moderated, and at the very least observed, by Reddit employees.
