Does anyone else remember when "they" broke up the anti-work movement on reddit by putting a mod on fox news then dividing the community by creating the work reform sub? (lemmy.world)

The other mods are the ones who got purged, the mod that went on TV was not part of the mod team by that time. There was a sock account people assumed could be them though. This remaining mods started to share info with the sub on what happened, why the decisions that were made were made as well as sharing that the reddit admins were pressuring them to allow their hand picked people on board. Next thing you know a handful of new mods showed up on the mod team.
