Hey,
Existing community rules had the following stated, leaves some room for interpretation:
“Post must have Antiwork/Work Reform explicitly involved in some capacity. This can be talking about antiwork, work reform, laws, and ext.”
In a way endless growth capitalism and just about everything that makes up a lot of US politics, the police state and the growing rise of fascism around the globe can make work seem pointless or can meaningfully contribute to a person feel trapped participating in that broken system so that they can feed their families. So in a lot of ways “talking about antiwork” can be a pretty broad topic - if that’s what the community wants it to be.
That said, there is also some literature cited in the sidebar as a basis of this specific movement. If the community wants a more narrow definition of antiwork, in alignment with one or a few of those philosophies, that can be very valuable as well.
So, what’s working in this community for you, what could be helped along with a bit more consistent attention in moderation? What do you appreciate in other “antiwork” communities around the web that you’d like to see on this instance?
The communities I mod take a hard line on anything promoting violence, but it’s a tough call as to what is a comment advocating it and what walks the line.
You can look at the modlog for Politics (which I mod) and News and Political Memes (which I don’t) for examples of the fires we’ve been putting out. Literal hitlists and such.
It’s tough because we all get the sentiment, but at the same time, there are top level lemmy.world policies to maintain as well.
Something like “eat the rich” or “you know why all the billionaires want to go to space? Guillotines don’t work in zero g.” are clearly jokes. But responses actually asking for murder or doxing locations or things like that… yeah…
Appreciate the expansion. I can imagine what it must be like over at Politics, 1000 yard stare…
