  It would be ridiculous to change the name of our community just because some drama happened on reddit that wasn't even as bad as people made it sound anyway. Imagine if we decided to abandon the word "socialism" just because some authoritarians use it to describe themselves, or "anarchy" just because some media dipshits used it to describe the Jan 6 rioters.

    Yeah, i get what you are saying.

    But people will associate anti work with this incident. So I thought some new users may think the community is a joke or something.

      IMO, if someone isn't even able to look past a name, they were never going to be convinced.

      If you're trying to onboard someone and you can't work the term antiwork, work another term

  I don't think there's need to change the name. At the end the day branding is branding.

  I don't think it matters long term. People have short memories.
