It's called the sunk cost fallacy. "I can't possibly quit because I've put so much time/money/effort into this."

But... they are literally the mods of r/antiwork, a community based around calling out unfair treatment by bosses and gathering strength to quit and find better employment.

You can't make this shit up, it's so stupid - it'd be unbelievable if it weren't for the fact that it actually happened.

It's super ironic, I completely agree.

True, but there is a real danger of changing the tone and direction of a sub with a mod swap. That sub has gone through it.

Yes that's the risk of a strike, and reddit knows that. When asked if they'd stick to their principals they gave up. Easy as that.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
