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.

    for the last time, no. We are not robust enough to swallow a sub larger than our entire site. Perhaps set up a lemmy instance for them and keep tabs on them there, but we are not in a position to absorb them. Most of them are libs, we would be under a deluge of anti-tankie posts from the word go. try to entice a few who seem more advanced in ideology, but we are not here to absorb old reddit subs.

      I, too, look forward to the next 16 reposts of this exact question.

      I get why people are wondering it, but yeah, IMO it's not a good idea.

        It's an actively self-destructive idea, it's built on unfounded optimism over anti-work sentiment rising while ignoring that it right now has no guiding ideology. :lenin-sleeping: please wake up and remind us why this is bad.
