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?
As you say, likely a long time until the next moment like that, if ever - that was an unprecedented rise in popularity during the “great resignation” news cycle. An even longer shot on attention with Lemmy, but agree generally - we are stronger together and should share. Clarity in strong messaging we believe in and consistency in the delivery, especially when facing adversity, is the equation in my experience.
