Uhhh… recent? Did you perhaps miss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment_America,_Inc._v._Hotz ?

Sad because I have only one upvote to give

Antiwork has only one possible meaning - the meaning associated with the movement.

I disagree.

nothing generic about it when there’s a movement by that name

A word being used as a name does not imply that the word is not generic.

Explain how it is generic and not specific.

“Anti” is a generic latin prefix that designates negation or opposition. So “anti[anything]” just means “[anything] negated or opposed”. The word “work” is a generic word and not a name. Therefore the word “antiwork” is a generic word and not specific. Like “unenlightened”, “maladjusted” or “antirational”.

It has the same name

Again, having the same name is not proof of a direct relationship.

the same aims and uses the same arguments to make its claims.

You haven’t shown that this community and the anti-work movement have the same aims or make the same claims. Even if you did, that’s still not proof of a direct relationship.

What about it proves this community has nothing to do with work?

I haven’t asserted that this community has nothing to do with work.

It is literally named “antiwork”. Antiwork is a movement.

Firstly, that article uses a hyphen, “anti-work”, which is not strictly the same as either the name of this community or the word you used in your link to the article.

Secondly, “antiwork” is a generic latin word. Just because this community is named using the same generic latin word as something else, doesn’t imply that the two are directly related.

Lastly, even assuming for the sake of argument a movement called “antiwork”, you still haven’t shown that this community is about that movement. There is no mention of a “movement” in the community description and you have shown no connection. This community is not mentioned in the article you linked to.

Provide evidence.

The description of the community seems evidence enough to me.

I’ve provided mine, which you simply ignored.

I don’t see evidence of anything. You’ve provided your opinions and asked lots of questions and presented some quotes. You haven’t shown that anything you’ve presented is related to this community. For example, the community description makes no mention of a “movement” and yet you assert that this community is about a social movement.

Antiwork is a movement aligned with socialism.

That’s not what this community is about. I think you want

!antiwork@lemmy.ml

A community with a goal at the societal level is indeed a social movement.

This community doesn’t have a goal at the societal level.

what exactly do you think antiwork means?

It doesn’t matter. What matters is what this community is about. This community is about being idle, not labour organising. Look at the community’s icon. Note the presence of In Praise of Idleness by Bertrand Russell on the community’s reading list.

Because it isn’t everyone stopping labouring.

You’ve introduced a new term here, “everyone”. You’re clearly thinking in terms of social movements like socialism or communism. This community isn’t about a social movement.

I pointed out three points made in the description that are specifically about work.

Two of the points are not about work per se but specifically about ending work. Labour organising is not ending work. In fact labour organising is specifically for the purpose of continuing to work.

The third point is about personal work-related struggles. This post is not a community member seeking personal help with work-related struggles.

I see.

You’re asking questions as though I’ve said things that I haven’t.

Because you’re the person surprised that antiwork has anything to do with people that work.

I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. You’re not making sense. I have not said I am surprised that antiwork has anything to do with people that work.

Not according to the community’s description.

Why are you asking me? Who are you quoting?

That doesn’t contradict anything I said.

Are you trolling?

No.

What do you think antiwork stands for?

It’s not clear what you’re referring to with “antiwork” here. The description of this Lemmy community, which is the critical matter, is as follows:

“A community for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.”

I’ve read the rules. Rule 3 doesn’t contradict what I said.

But it’s not antiwork and it’s not what the community is about.
