Background
Doreen Ford, who moderated r/antiwork under the handle u/AbolishWork, gave a January 2022 interview on Fox News' 'Watters World' that the community widely viewed as a disaster and that had been conducted against the subreddit's wishes. The backlash led the 1.7-million-member subreddit to go private, and moderators moved to remove Ford. The incident became a widely cited case study in moderator accountability.
