    Good job! If people with a reddit account post replies on yogthos’s reddit thread, it might make the thread move up in reddit’s ‘hot’ tab, which means more exposure. Reddit the company doesn’t like upvote manipulation iirc, so we can’t have many people from here upvote the post.

      I just wanna say I really appreciate everything you do @yogthos@lemmy.ml , both in spreading class consciousness / communism, and helping spread the word about lemmy. Its a slog but we’ll all get there together!

        Thanks, and yeah we’re all in it together. Ultimately, if we don’t do the work ourselves nobody’s going to do it for us. And can’t stress enough how huge of an achievement Lemmy is. I hugely appreciate all the work you’ve done on it. It’s amazing to see it grow and become a viable alternative to commercial platforms. Tools like this are what makes it possible for us to start taking control back.

    AFAIK the original /r/antiwork admins are Anarchists, thus they are unlikely so agree to a move to a platform that isn’t also run by Anarchists or similar. Nothing personal against @yogthos@lemmy.ml but it will likely fail if an outspoken ML like him is running it.

      I’m simply advocating that an instance should be created, and I’m not suggesting that I should be the one to run it. If Anarchists running the instance would result in more people joining, I’m all for it.

      why make this about yogthos and not about the antiwork/labour community itself? whoever runs the community doesn’t matter, as long as it’s actually served for the community and its users. which is the whole point of a community in the first place.

        AFAIK people over at /r/antiwork were already complaining about an apparently coordinated “infiltration” attempt by MLs. It is not specifically about yogthos, but if you want a migration to Lemmy to succeed it is better not to start with an already controversial situation.

        Besides that… ML proponents are really not known for their antiwork stance, at least how that is understood in Anarchist cycles.
