First labor strike, huh?
Ask yourself, who told you that was true? The strikers? Or the guy with the vested interest in breaking the strike and desperate to find anyone -- literally anyone -- to cross the line?
- themaninthedark 3y agoIf the mods want to go on strike it's not a problem. What I am talking about is that the mods decided to drag the users into their issue. I don't even use Reddit that often, I see that there is a vocal contingent that is telling me how Reddit is ruining Reddit. If the company wants to kill their community, that is their prerogative. If it kills their company, that is what happens.

- s1artibartfast 3y agoStrikes can't stop people from crossing the line and becoming scabs. I think that sets this situation apart in an interesting way. Subs didn't vote on if they wanted to keep posting/moderating. They essentially voted on if dissidents or the minority can keep posting/moderating
- jonathankoren 3y agoThey voted on making their subs private. Everything you wrote is a gross misrepresentation of the stituation.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI think it perfectly accurate but maybe I'm missing something. If I want to participate in a protest by not creating content, I don't need a vote or moderator permission to do so. I can just do it. Going private means that people who want to post can't. In terms of a strike, it wasn't some people walking out. It was a vote to walk out and then prevent everyone else who wants to work from doing so
