2. No spam or reposts + limit off topic comments


Spamming posts will be removed. Reposts will be removed with the exception of a repost becoming the main hub for discussion on that topic.

Off topic comments that do not pertain to the post at hand may be removed if it is deemed they contribute nothing and/or foster hostility at users. This mostly applies to political and religious debate, but can be applied to other things at the mod’s discretion.


3. Post must have Antiwork/ Work Reform explicitly involved


Post must have Antiwork/Work Reform explicitly involved in some capacity. This can be talking about antiwork, work reform, laws, and ext.


4. Educate don’t attack


No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.


5. No Advertising


Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information


Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines


If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format “Original title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion


Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties


Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)

Is it bad I kind of want to con these rich fucks out of some of their money so I can afford to move away from this greed prison country?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No not at all, they don't deserve more money than us.

I know! But I always bog myself down with moralistic, philosophical questions like "is that how they got started?" and "does that make me as loathsome as them?"

Questions they I doubt they ever felt the weight of.

[–] Duamerthrax 15 points 1 month ago

Most of them got started with generational wealth. Be careful though. The only crime the rich people get in trouble for is stealing from other rich people.

Just send them official looking bills with obtuse language describing the billed work. Many will just pay them without looking further into things. I once did a landscaping delivery to some nouveau riche looking a-hole who bragged about being so busy and rich, that he just payed whatever bills came in. He also wasn't that rich, but liked to look the part. Probably swimming in debt right now.

Have you tried being a faith healer for the rich?

[–] Duamerthrax 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You need to know how to launder money for that. A lot of those psychic/faith healer types the rich use are just laundering money for them.

So you're saying I need to be an Asian Nail Salon faith healer?

[–] InternetCitizen2 1 points 1 month ago

Wait this is unironic? Like not trying to troll the ancaps or something? I'd troll it on r/austrian_economics if I wasn't banned.
