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 agree. I preferred the workreform sub. Seemed more mature.
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
