Bad mod action in anti-work community (slrpnk.net)

This thread was inappropriately censored by either @punkisdead@slrpnk.net or @mambabasa@slrpnk.net claiming:

“Reason: Reason: Literally the opposite of anti-work is "over employment" which OP is arguing for”

There is an English comprehension problem by the mod. Would someone whose first language is English please:

  1. notice that over employment is actually the problem that the thread’s thesis seeks remedies for. Being forced into a full-time or nothing ultamatim is a very common problem that oppresses anti-work proponents. It’s the single most common problem we face. Appalling that a mod would block the discussion.
  2. undo the improper mod action

The mod’s action to suppress is actually a pro-work action, as it prevents discussion around solutions to over-employment.

First I would lile to thank you and others for feedback regarding this. I hope anyone who does so reads the original post, the sidebar of the community and tries to understand the general spirit of that community before they comment tho.

A direct answer from myself, as I am not speaking for the other moderator of !antiwork@slrpnk.net:

Can you actually tell us what your post had to do with the abolition of work? Because thats what is outlined in the sidebar and the expectation of content there. I feel like your post really failed to connect to topic that and the votes and report(s) it received also showed this. I think another antiwork / work reform community on Lemmy would have been actual places your topic would have fit.

I stand by the decision to remove the post and I think its kinda ridiculous how out of proportion you are blowing this instance of mod action. From my perspective you are still welcome to contribute to !antiwork!antiwork@slrpnk.net as long as it is actually on topic.

I’ve posted there in the past about mitigating work (incl. concepts like ”quitting” but working which just means ways to not work your ass off pleasing a boss and just working at a content pace). I posted about new work reduction laws. I never posted about full abolition of work. And I commented then that it was strange that the sidebar seems to only mention full abolition of work, and I asked if there were any objections to chatter about work reduction. There were none. And those other posts were not suppressed. So I figured the sidebar was unintentionally narrow.

The rationale in the modlog was nonsense. Now you are giving different rationale.

As I said I speak for myself, not for other parties involved.
