   Apparently on Reddit, the Antiwork movement is blowing up due to a really poor attempt at an interview on Fox News. If only the users there would switch to the Fediverse instead of staying on Reddit.

     And apparently /r/Antiwork was just now marked private. I don't know if that now means it is dead.

     @bhaugen From my understanding piecing together the timeline: the mods were offered an interview by Fox News. The mods asked the community if they should do it. The community said "no". The mods unilaterally did it anyway against the community's wishes, and it did not go well. So the community is (rightfully) pretty displeased at the outcome and the movement being painted as "lazy", "unkept", "unprofessional", and "without aspirations".

     @cj
     Any of that drama visible to the curious public anymore?

     @bhaugen No idea, I don't really go on reddit. Friends of mine are filling in the gaps for me, telling me there's /r/WorkReform now.

     I personally only really saw the ill-advised interview on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUMIFYBMnc
