      hopefully it gets at least some people to check it out and see for themselves

        Yeah definitely, having people join the community on this instance would be a good start. I really think hosting a server dedicated to antiwork would be great. A few things would need to be figured out for that though. The main things I can think of would be:

        • hosting costs, would need to spin up a VPS somewhere, those start out cheap ~5 bucks a months, but costs can grow for a bigger community so would need to figure out how to fund that sustainably, I’d be up for pitching in a few bucks a month
        • technical skills, we’d need some volunteers who’d be willing to do server maintenance, upgrades, security patching, etc
        • and finally need mods for managing the community and content

      I just wanna say I really appreciate everything you do @yogthos@lemmy.ml , both in spreading class consciousness / communism, and helping spread the word about lemmy. Its a slog but we’ll all get there together!

        Thanks, and yeah we’re all in it together. Ultimately, if we don’t do the work ourselves nobody’s going to do it for us. And can’t stress enough how huge of an achievement Lemmy is. I hugely appreciate all the work you’ve done on it. It’s amazing to see it grow and become a viable alternative to commercial platforms. Tools like this are what makes it possible for us to start taking control back.

    Good job! If people with a reddit account post replies on yogthos’s reddit thread, it might make the thread move up in reddit’s ‘hot’ tab, which means more exposure. Reddit the company doesn’t like upvote manipulation iirc, so we can’t have many people from here upvote the post.

      I’m simply advocating that an instance should be created, and I’m not suggesting that I should be the one to run it. If Anarchists running the instance would result in more people joining, I’m all for it.

      why make this about yogthos and not about the antiwork/labour community itself? whoever runs the community doesn’t matter, as long as it’s actually served for the community and its users. which is the whole point of a community in the first place.
