One of the standing mods there

What do you think? r/antiwork of course. LMAO.

There are tons of people like me who are starting to turn on that shitty place BECAUSE of the bullshit fake stories and the encouragement of them. That mod might have people having calling them out on it but there are more people who don't care or even endorses the policy of fake stories. Hard pillow to swallow I know.

Its hard to swallow because you havent presented me with compelling evidence the pill even exists.

Your claim that r/antiwork is advocating spreading false stories isnt backed up by the screenshot you shared. Sure, maybe one mod has these ideas, but the fact that they were completely shut down by other members of the r/antiwork subreddit (and compare their posts 7 upvotes to the dozens upon dozens the posts criticizing theirs got) does more to disprove your claim than prove it.

I thought the same initially but it is not. It is literally a safe space to radically abolish work. When you start telling fake oppressive stories to victimize yourself then you lose all credibility.

Just out of interest: how would the reddit moderators even verify the stories that are posted? Is that really something you can expect from a handful of volunteers?

Unless the story has clear refutable claims, you don't. Often the evidence is just "that doesn't sound right to me".

There's also r/nothingeverhappens/ dedicated to people calling everything fake. Knowing reddit, I wouldn't be surprised if that goes a few levels deeper.

Be a good judge of character. If you can read some of those posts and can't tell which ones are fake then it's pretty obvious you have a certain agenda here.

You don't even need to read the posts to figure out if they're fake. You can just check the author post / comment history and they usually have only one post and zero comments.

There is not a single person alive who was almost progressive but rejected it because of Jussie Smollett. Only people who are already conservative point to it to satisfy their confirmation bias, and if the incident had never happened, they would still be no less right wing.

Irrelevant.

Point being when you remind yourself of the history of horrors that have been wrought upon workers fighting for their rights, the stories in the subreddit seem quite tame in comparison at least the ones Ive seen.

Perhaps, link me to/screenshot one of these r/antiwork posts that you believe to be fake, that might make the conversation more productive.
