MODERATORS
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6846087

Full disclosure on Friday night my brother chill-left showed me this conversation and I believe it is worth sharing.

“Teia Rabishu” has been the top mod of antiwork since the massive scandal of a moderator appearing on Tucker Carlson who spoke about their part time job as a dogwalker. She appears not to understand the concept of the Overton window. Her defense of the decision to ban, “Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare.” despite the opposition of the moderators and users of the sub is suspicious, unethical, and totalitarian. In typical “dictator fashion”, her entire stance seems to be “china bad” and she constantly argues via logical fallacies. Not only this but, “Caledric” from the beginning of being a moderator for antiwork openly admits to working for US intelligence and expresses sympathy as well as agreement to their ideological framing and conclusions. “Teia” defends and supports “Caledric” as well as upholds the ideological anti-communism and red scare propaganda which led to this entire debacle.

This document and photos where leaked by u/chill-left before he was banned from the anti-work subreddit. He was a moderator dissenting within their internal communication discord. The supposed reason for his ban was calling for democratic elections to replace the head moderator of the antiwork subreddit. As well as disagreeing with “Teia Rabishu”.

Please share this with any interested individuals or parties, especially anyone associated with antiwork.

Merari01 — Today at 6:02 PM My worry atm is that we will not live this down, same as we haven't lived down "dogwalker" and will in perpetua be confronted with leftwing reddit seeing us as an enemy. Unless we publicly say "we made a small error and based on feedback we're reversing this decision" (edited)

I forgot about the dogwalker! This person is right though, they will be viewed as the enemy.

thinking-about-it maybe when you have someone on your team who is openly a fed you're gonna be making leftists angry, yeah

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

brow I hope I don't make anyone angry

This is called foreshadowing, or maybe lampshading depending on how convinced you are that Hexbear is a fed site

[–] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well it stands to reason there's like one fed here eh? They were on fuckin WoW at one point there's no amount of time and energy they won't waste

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

WoW is much larger though. Also just so you're aware I only got to be on WoW by massively hassling management to let me, I figured it would be an easy way to get paid for gaming, next thing I know I'm arguing with 800 people about wether the_dunk_tank should be called "slop" or "gossip" on a pigshittesticles website. I thought I had it made, thought I finally pull one over on the man and suddenly I get assigned to the "online debatelord" division. Smh

Merari01

i know this username for some reason, why do i know this username... some other power mod drama?

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes. Or at least, that's why I recognize the name. Merari01 is a long-time powermod who's been involved in a bunch of drama. I don't remember exactly what the drama was that I'm thinking of, but I think it had something to do with r/contrapoints

Bardfinn is the other annoying reddit powermod whose name I recognize.

I'm so glad I don't go on reddit anymore, the place is a fucking cesspool

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

Oh so the mods in charge of "leftist" subs are wreckers and feds? Hmmmm....really activates the almonds.
