4. Educate don’t attack
No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.

How on earth is this even slightly Promoting_ANTI_work?
On the contrary, this is promoting work.
Please find a “work support” forum for posts like this, instead.
I came to this community
to find fellow anti-work’ers🫡
I get where you’re coming from.
I could dig this if it was for. idk. unpaid volunteer work? One that was strictly by-personal-choice; zero compulsions.
Instead this has seemed to turn into a, “Let’s gripe about how much we hate work, yet still focus on & validate & legitimize our wage-slavery work lives….”
This post seems really antithetical to this community/sub. Please repost elsewhere.
#sorrynotsorry #grouchy
ADDENDUM: OK, sorry, I didn’t realize you were also a mod. I went back & re-read the rules for this sub.
Q: Were you a founder/cofounder of the original sub on sh.itjust.works ? Who all was?? The same peeps as are here now? just trying to make sense of something that feels very confusing to me.
I also read in this sub’s rules, “work reform” and “also see this other community, /c/workreform “
… Maybe we could just move all #reform related posts over there, instead??
My impression was this was something more like a (not-violent) anarchist sub, for being anti-work.
Like wholly unapologetically anti-work. (by which i mean, “unapologetically showing-up in opposition to working-involuntarily-because of an oppressive zero-sum system” )
EDIT3:
Ok, maybe I just need to understand this all better. What are y’all trying to do here? In this sub / community, i mean?
