    This is so melodramatic lol

    It “killed” nothing. That was one bad mod vs. a bunch of users who were determined to self destruct.

      They abandoned the main AntiWork subreddit and split the entire community in two.

        Yeah, whatever happened was a totally disproportionate response to a single bad interview for an audience of people who were never likely to support the movement in the first place.

        I guess it’s super hard to put one’s personal feelings aside for the greater good, and it’s frighteningly easy to get drawn into dogpiling and scapegoating a single person rather than pausing and reflecting on forming a more constructive response.

        Neither of the communities ever really recovered from that, and in my opinion that says a lot more about the myriad users than it does about one mod.
