The first mod of r/workreform was just one guy, he created the sub in the fallout from the r/antiwork mod going on Fox News. He had something like 500k new users in a day.
Then reddit admin told him he had lots of rule breaking comments and needed to appoint other mods - their mods. He wanted to run votes and elect mods from within the community, but they said no, he must appoint their chosen powermods. They quickly encouraged him to give them more and more power, until they ousted him from his position as moderator and said the sub was now a part of their “projects”.
Ever since then r/workreform has been nothing but a front for permitted dissent, rather than any sort of meaningful movement.
