the moment reddit starting threatening to fire them and take over THEIR communities, ut became a job.

Eh I see what you mean but technically reddit has always been up front about it being volunteer, and they did give them the choice to step down instead of reopening. So I can't see it being held up in court

But I'm NAL

Well you can sue anyone for almost any reason. It's not really about if they win or lose (obviously winning would be big for workers rights and bad for Reddit corporate)

The real question is does the judge throw out the case up front. If they don't, the case would go on for months and might reveal some uncomfortable things.
