It's sad that they have to strike because they fear for their lives at their jobs.

This is why we need to raise awareness of strike. Help them amplify their voices and generate the negative publicity that the studios are desperately trying to avoid!

Hundreds of thousands of actors will go on strike Wednesday night if negotiations with studios are not reached by midnight. in c/workreform

Hi! I used to participate on /r/antiwork (and then /r/workreform after the Doreen incident), but never modded those subs. The only moderation experience I have on reddit was a few years ago, and I stepped down after the sub got past >25k subs because I just wasn’t interested in dealing with reports. I have no intention of becoming a “top mod” or whatever here, and I’m not that interested in admin/mod drama and shenanigans. Lemmy is a new start for many of us old-timey Redditors, and I created this community because I couldn’t find one that gels with my philosophy on work, and I believe it’s something that affects enough of us that we should talk about it.

If you believe in the stated goals of workreform (addressing wage inequality and capitalism, as opposed to abolishing labor altogether), you’re welcome to participate here. You'll be judged based on your behavior on lemmy and lemmy alone.

Also the modlog is open for everyone to see on lemmy - click on "modlog" at the bottom of the sidebar, near all the subscriber/active user statistics. Spoiler: I haven't banned anyone yet, and all i've done is remove one spam post (well, I removed it, accidentally restored it because I didn't know what I was doing, and then removed it again) :)

Also, we don’t necessarily need a big userbase. Just a good active one. More is not necessarily better in my opinion.

Unfortunately, the main benefit of having a large userbase is that you can always find a community for any obscure interest you have! That's not really the case with lemmy now.

Thanks for subscribing to /c/[email protected] ! Now that we've grown (and are growing) so quickly, I've had some calls to discuss what this community is for!

What we stand for

As the sidebar says, Work Reform aims to increase the share of rewards reaped by the workers (as opposed to capitalists - be it shareholders or owners), and make work more equitable. We do NOT aim to abolish labor altogether - I personally don’t think that’s a viable societal system. There is no known system in human history where majority of the population can subsist without doing anything in return.

What we need to do

I see a few things necessary to reform the current economic system - let’s call it Awareness, Advocacy and Action:

Awareness means getting people to realise that the corporate propaganda they’re hearing isn’t the whole truth.
Advocacy means going out and telling people to join the cause, form a local union, etc.
Action means taking organized action - writing to politicians, organising dialogues and strikes, etc.

What this space can be used for

In short, all of the above!

To raise Awareness, you can post anything that talks about the issue of wage disparity. That means venting about scummy practices, that means posting news that counters corporate propaganda, and that means posting memes and screenshots of relevant tweets.
To engage in Advocacy, you can post news about organised action taking place elsewhere that we can celebrate or contribute to.
To take Action, you can start a local chapter of your union, organize/engage in online campaigns, etc. This space can be used to help gather people for that purpose.

I personally think the most important thing now is to get more people to rally behind the cause (which means Action and Advocacy). But some of you have really good ideas on taking Action. So feel free to use this space for that purpose.

As it grows, we can discuss how best to use this community as well, so the rules may evolve over time.

YSK: Deer and rabbits "park" their babies and spend most of the day away from them. If you find a baby all alone, it is almost definitely not abandoned. (self.youshouldknow)

Why YSK: DON'T bring it somewhere to 'save' it unless it's in immediate danger - you're probably just kidnapping it from its mom. People find baby deer or rabbits with no parents nearby and think they're abandoned, so they bring them to shelters to try to "save them". In reality they're just forcibly separating the animal from its mother and greatly reducing its survival chances.

Infant rabbits without their mothers don't do well. Even in professional care settings, they have about a 90% mortality rate. Taking them away from the nest should be a last resort, only when death is guaranteed otherwise.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. This is different from the anti-work movement - e are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5. (self.youshouldknow)

Why YSK: It helps when calculating percentages. If you want to find out what 2% of 20 is, do 20% of 2 instead and you'll get 0.4. So, 2% of 20 also equals 0.4.

Or, 12% of 25 can be alternatively written out as 25% of 12 instead, which would be 3.

Explanation: Commutative Property. So, 0.07 times 50 will always equal 50 times 0.07
