Are the same petty mods running this show? If so, please ban me immediately. I don't see how you can reconcile claiming to fight labor exploitation while at the same time giving away your labor for free to a billion dollar company.

Hi! I used to participate on /r/antiwork (and then /r/workreform after the Doreen incident), but never modded those subs. The only moderation experience I have on reddit was a few years ago, and I stepped down after the sub got past >25k subs because I just wasn’t interested in dealing with reports. I have no intention of becoming a “top mod” or whatever here, and I’m not that interested in admin/mod drama and shenanigans. Lemmy is a new start for many of us old-timey Redditors, and I created this community because I couldn’t find one that gels with my philosophy on work, and I believe it’s something that affects enough of us that we should talk about it.

If you believe in the stated goals of workreform (addressing wage inequality and capitalism, as opposed to abolishing labor altogether), you’re welcome to participate here. You'll be judged based on your behavior on lemmy and lemmy alone.

Also the modlog is open for everyone to see on lemmy - click on "modlog" at the bottom of the sidebar, near all the subscriber/active user statistics. Spoiler: I haven't banned anyone yet, and all i've done is remove one spam post (well, I removed it, accidentally restored it because I didn't know what I was doing, and then removed it again) :)

Hello. Thanks for replying. I'm happy to be here and I appreciate what you've done. I'm a diehard believer in the mission and philosophy. I was always more of a lurker on the sub than a contributor, but the message resonates strongly with me, and it was an important part of my daily feed.

I'm still finding my way around this platform, and learning the new jargon and culture, but I can see this replacing any need for Reddit. I'm definitely rooting for the platform and your community.

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.
