the community over there was started by bankers after the successful takedown of antiwork as a means of coopting the movement and deradicalising it
Iām not sure about that - I was part of the original antiwork sub, but it was clear that the sub consisted of a mix of folks - there were the āliteralā antiwork folks who want to abolish paid labor, and people who wanted better wage equality. After the whole Doreen incident, the latter split off into workreform.
You misunderstood me - when I said I was āpart of antiworkā, what i meant was that I was a subscriber (and somewhat frequent) poster, but I was never a moderator of anything on reddit. And by āfolksā, I meant people who participated in the sub, not the founders or mods.
I know about the whole debate with the founders being CIBC bankers. I honestly donāt know whatās the true story with the mods. What I do know is that the name, description and stated purpose of āwork reformā is more in line with my personal views than āanti workā. antiwork started off as an anti-labor movement and as the sub grew, the mods didnāt really keep the discussion on track, so it became this weird hybrid sub that was supposed to be antiwork, but had 70% workreform and 30% antiwork posts. Admidst the discussion after the Doreen incident, it was clear from the comments within the sub (from users, not mods) that there were strong antiwork voices as well as strong workreform voices. It was just the catalyst that gave the workreform participants a chance to split off.
The only moderation experience I have on reddit was a few years ago, and I stepped down after the sub got past >25k subs because I just wasnāt interested in dealing with reports. I have no intention of becoming a ātop modā or whatever here, and Iām not that interested in admin/mod drama and shenanigans. Lemmy is a new start for many of us old-timey Redditors, and I created this community because I couldnāt find one that gels with my philosophy on work, and I believe itās something that affects enough of us that we should talk about it.
If you believe in the stated goals of workreform (addressing wage inequality and capitalism, as opposed to abolishing labor altoghether), youāre welcome to participate here and mod if you want!
Thatās a fair point, but antiwork as a brand is effectively a laughing stock now. Anybody who wants to discredit the movement now and in future will simply point to the Fox News interview. If the conspiracy theories were true, the false flag operation worked.
My original point still stands - the antiwork sub is a mix of people with different goals. Thatās not sustainable. fuckcars as a movement is more homogenous, so it works.
