Some people are worried that it may feel sexual.

I… did not know this was a concern? lol

the odds are stacked against the mods and the users, but any little bit of resistance is useful.

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) :)

you can try selecting “don’t recommend this channel” on some of the more radical ones!

oh my god i love this. it would be a shame if all other subs followed suit…

every time it lags, it’s because youtube has to send someone down to the basement to retrieve the correct blu-ray disc from a storage room

For a site filled with users who are more tech-savvy than the average person, I’m surprised there is such a big dichotomy in views here. Or maybe it’s just one or two really vocal individuals.

I think everyone is agreed that the site is a cesspool that deserves to die. The issue is that getting ISPs to voluntarily block sites based on advocacy is bad. As the provider of a “digital human right”, ISPs should NOT get to decide who gets their service and who doesn’t.

The EFF isn’t supporting hate groups. What they’re saying is that an ISP block is a dangerous precedent.

would prefer free market solns where the state has to abide by the rules of the people

Workers: “I can’t even live on a full day’s work and rent costs more than half my wage”

Media: “Wow workers are really disgrunteld nowadays, no idea why but it’s going to be a problem for megacorps”

I like lemmy.world so far - relatively neutral admins, no weird stuff like disabling downvotes, you can create communities and post nsfw!
