They have a fairly good thing going there in terms of general energy and number of people on board but Reddit and lib mods could ruin it very fast. It also seems like we have a fair bit of exchange with them, even if a lot of us get banned. Do we want to make a liferaft comm /c/antiwork for the dual purpose of growing hexbear and providing a space where a sane and correct model of antiwork with leftist foundations can grow?
Weigh in with pros and cons below.
Yeah we did that once and it's been pretty widely regarded as a bad move
But this sub isn't about a contentious issue like that was.
It does have a lot of :LIB:s with no understanding of imperialism, though. I think it's important to be careful, the average opinion on there doesn't fit well with here. We don't want to suddenly bring in thousands of liberals for the mods to deal with.
I'm assuming you're talking about /c/okbuddycapitalist - what happened? I didn't know anything went wrong with that, it looks like their mod team recommends us and everything.

Considering there was never any self-crit from the people who engineered it, that's definitely not a given

Not even close to being the case, but go off

No, because a lot of the people who spearheaded that are openly still here. It's not a secret or anything

There was a lot of mod chaos, so I don't blame you for thinking so. Some people left, some left and came back either still as mods or regular users, a lot of people who got banned got unbanned later. It's also tricky because it was never openly stated who was responsible for it IIRC, so you just have to go by people's statements during the debacle
I think there should have been way more transparency about everything that went down, but I do understand the impulse to just slam the lid closed on the whole mess. But if you ask me, it's still just bubbling under the surface

They did make a statement , but it's weird how much people sometimes still obsess over it.
