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)

Surprising we got this... wage slaves rarely win shit

Yea, this is huge. I love how the two people that voted against it are saying nooooo we should just leave it to congress. Nothing like this would ever happen if they did, so I'm glad the other 3 are getting things done.

If the courts are going to determine the FTC hasn't actually been granted the authority to do this (idk if they actually will, just speculating), then it doesn't get done and the act could rather amount to wasteful political grandstanding. So I think at least the question of whether they can do this legally is important.

I'm pumped.

The commission’s two dissenting members argued that the agency was stepping beyond its authority in issuing the ban, saying such powers should be left with the Congress.

Was there a different article you had read where they said SCOTUS?

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, I guess I just got them mixed up. I'm going back to edit it now!

This is incredible! This missed my radar. Here I thought NCAs were just going to stay. I can only see good things come from this.

Okay, in a hypothetical scenario, let’s just say I work for a huge thought-leader in my industry and many of the employees are incredibly talented, educated, and passionate.

In order to protect their reputation, my hypothetical employer has forbidden employees from making podcasts related to the field, pursuing side-gigs, or publishing anything without prior permission.

I think this is hypothetically bs and outrageous behavior for a business with such a sterling reputation.

I’m not sure this is the same as a non-compete clause. I think it’s insane to think they could have any say in what I do with my personal time and energy. I’m hugely passionate about my industry and I love discussing it and the idea that I have to check with my boss about a hobby project absolutely grinds my gears.

Hypothetically, of course.

This favors workers and not corporations so it's doomed.
