I remember being really disappointed that the mods there refused to leave reddit during the protests last June. Today I happened to check reddit and I see the engagement appears to have plummeted.
So it seems the peeps decided to vote with their feet, which is great! However I know there hasn't been a lot of influx in alternative places like this community, [email protected] or even raddle.me.
So where have all the online anarchists gone? What do you think :D
I don't know exactly what happened, but I had heard that particular subreddit kept having repeated instances of infighting and the mods weren't too great at handling it. I think much of their userbase has moved along to other things. The antiwork subreddit has had a lot of clout lately I guess.
Oh, did antiwork recover from the "maybe I'll be a professor" thing?
That moment of cringe was too much for anyone to recover from
Nah there was a period from 2010 and for a couple years that things were shaking out between various styles of anarchism and possible some ml entryists, but it's been relatively stable for the past 5 years at least.
