The antiwork sub devolved into a negative circlejerk, I hope workreform takes a foothold instead. It’s not realistic to be anti work, it takes work to survive and thrive. It’s a matter of having thoughtful discussions on a realistic way to attain a proper balance. This comes from someone who subbed to antiwork right away and transitioned to the workreform sub. Either way, good luck and fight the good fight!
Any things that you want to see and don’t want to see on this sub? And please explain me more about wdym by “negative circlejerk”.
I’m not who you asked, but I can explain it.
I was banned from the sub because I pointed out that a local politician is divisive and largely disliked by the leftist community here (it’s about 50/50 whether leftists here like her or absolutely hate her). Coincidentally, she happens to be a registered socialist. Because she is a socialist, and I spoke negatively of her, I was banned. I was able to back up how disliked she is with articles and whatnot, but she’s a socialist, so you can’t say anything bad about her.
If this community is going to be the same, I want no part in it.
I don’t know about all that, I just don’t think it’s smart to put effort into a new place to discuss work reform and make the same mistake and call it antiwork again.
I named it both to hit more keywords when people search for subs, now I can’t back out from that because the permament name is called antiwork. :x
Have you seen this one?
@workreform
Yes, I found it after after I made this one. I decided to post there (my sub) to make sure I didn’t block people from having conversations on the sub you linked and I was kinda curious if I will be able to somehow come out at the top because both of the communities were very new. xd
I agree. I preferred the workreform sub. Seemed more mature.
I don’t want to see bootlickers intentionally misconstruing what “anti-work” means like is happening in this thread.
Content on r/antiwork turned into just hating on companies for anything at all. Sometimes there are negative things an employer has to do which is understandable if you look into why they did what they did.
If people want to just hate on anything that revolves around working I guess a community called antiwork is the place to be. If I remember right the antiwork sub started as more of a work reform sub, got popular and shifted to just shitting on employers and had that dumb mod go on Fox and make everyone on antiwork look like fools. That’s when I switched to the workreform sub.
It’s ok for both antiwork and workreform to exist, I just hope a community called antiwork doesnt try to become the main workreform community again since there’s an opportunity for a fresh start.
