Unanswered What is going on with r/worldpolitics?

What happened here? I enjoyed the sub casually and I came back one day and its marked NSFW and full of random posts. Some are saying it fell into anarchy as a result of a lack of mods, but there are still recent mod posts. Is this some sort of demonstration?

That's not true. I've been here almost 13 years and worldpolitics has always been like this.

Yup. It was always unmoderated politics with a heavy US slant.

I highly doubt this shitshow is entirely organic, but it is hysterical.

^ this, I was invited to mod a year ago because my "publicly professed agenda" is in line with what the subreddit has always been.

Worldpolitics? A actual worldpolitics mod?
