Sorry not sure which community to really post in since I'm not that active but I think labour would probably be most appropriate. But if you check out that thread the comment that made me think of hexbear was 8baked17's. That user is acknowledging the need to mitigate their community off of reddit to avoid repression/ counter narrative work that reddit deploys.

"This movement needs to get off of social media ASAP and organized on an independent, transparent AND MOST IMPORTANTLY A NON-PROFIT PLATFORM, be it online or offline, before the collective voices get drowned out by garbage content spam and bots."

I wonder if it might be productive for the mod team here to reach out to their mod team and discuss this possibility or if the community here/ the wider community here has any thoughts to share about such a possibility. I know this is a much smaller space and I admittedly don't know if this would even be feasible from a technological standpoint but I have not floated this on reddit and have only put this here since this is much smaller community and should have primacy in deciding whether this would be a workable option or if it would have too many detrimental effects here.

For my part, I think these people are radicalizing HARD in real time and this might be a golden opportunity to channel some of this into forward-thinking channels and possibly put them onto some other related shit that needs to be addressed as well.

    Glad you posted!

    We're actually using /c/agitprop and to some extent /c/labor for radicalizing the Antiwork crowd!

    • Union-oriented /r/Antiwork content is welcome in /c/Labour. Like if someone on Reddit is asking how to organize, this comm will be happy to go talk to them
    • All other Antiwork & /r/Antiwork content is welcome in /c/Agitprop
    • You can really go ham in /c/Agitprop, don't be shy about making that comm entirely about radicalizing /r/Antiwork. In the distant future we could always spin off a separate antiwork comm but for now we're just using the existing Agitprop comm for this purpose.
    • /c/Agitprop can serve as a Dunk Tank or a Un-Dunk Tank but for /r/Antiwork posts and comments. We encourage you to browse the /new section of that subreddit looking for recent threads to get the first word, and then post your beautiful work in the comm.
    • All other agitprop is still of course welcome there and always will be

    So everyone subscribe to /c/Labour and /c/Agitprop and post away!

    We've decided against doing a Lifeboat style community transfer, because that is a huge subreddit and we'll just get thousands of CHUDs who happen to hate their bosses, because hey, the H does stand for "humanoid"
