The name is confusing, kind of like "defund the police". If you take it at face value, you can misunderstand.
Look at https://lemmy.ml/c/antiwork 's sidebar:
If a leftist movement doesn’t have a horribly misleading and unnecessarily inflammatory name, is it even a leftist movement?
I mean the creator of the movement back on reddit was literally anti-work. They went on to get interviewed on the news and made a complete fool of themselves and the people who had a much more well reasoned approach, causing a split into "work reform"/worker empowerment communities, which this one is more along the lines of.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !antiwork@lemmy.ml
