Work Reform
17109 readers
3503 users here now
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Wait, am I meant to feel upset that people are embracing the moniker of socialist?
I think Bart is supposed to be the* DNC / establishment dems, and Homer is DSA / progressives
The taboo on the word is still pretty strong in several areas of the country so, many people would like you to feel upset by it. Progress and education are two of the only nonviolent ways to change this
Most of those guys are aging out. That's what the stats show on generational polling.
What McCarthyism does to a mf
For most Americans- Marxism=communism=socialism=authoritarianism.
Those same morons pine to return to the 40's, 50's and 60's where we had FDRs socialist policies.
There are a lot of eastern Europeans and Slavs who also have this problem.
I think it's prime time to take the word back. Memes like Fox listing out all the things the "socialists" want and.... for the most part, it's stuff we actually do want and people in general want… yeah, let's take that word back. We need social safety nets.
Maybe they shouldn't have labelled anything the government does which helps its people as socialism if they don't want the people to be pro-socialism.
Oh wow, that took a long time to federate. 2 days later and I’ve only just seen your comment. Wonder if it’s my instance being slow, the distance, or your instance being slow
There were problems with federation but I thought they got solved when it got multithreaded, unless your instance never enabled that.
We’re currently trying to increase our bandwidth and throughput, so it might be as simple as that. Impossible for me to tell anything specific about our setup. I’m not that technically savvy
IIRC the way federation works, a server sends a message and then waits for an acknowledgement before sending another one. So a 250ms round trip time to Australia means a hard limit of 4 messages per second no matter how fast the internet link is.
We had a lot of trouble with lemmy.world a while back because they were just plain generating more messages than they could send us so we were lagging further and further behind.
Lemmy can have multiple simultaneous connections between servers now to get around the latency throughput limit, but that might be something server admins need to configure.
