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.
I think it's too soon, while the very notion of antiwork is a thorn in the side of capital they don't really have anything on them; they banned cth because of "brigading" and "calls for violence", but antiwork hasn't really engaged in any activism beyond posting convos with their shitty bosses. You'll know when a sub is about to be nuked when they start to quarantine it, pin mod posts that call for users to behave in a certain way, have automods pre-empting bad bahavior on every new thread, etc. Also, if we are to start lifeboating a new space, we'd have to advertise hexbear aggressively, and I think that's counterproductive at this juncture.
