Thank you for the work (heh) of cataloguing the sub's early history. I had a distinct memory of seeing it pop up occasionally years ago when it was still in its "antiwork means no work" phase, but was met with several instances of people violently proclaiming that is not in fact what the sub was or ever was.
I would also like to thank you for writing these articles in the first place. Frankly, and with no disrespect, a gay Mormon would be low on my list of people I expect to share so many thoughts and opinions with, but life is full of surprises and it is nice to find a niche of (as it appears to me, at least) sanity on the internet.
Glad you enjoyed the piece, and glad my writing's been resonating in general. I, ah, can't say I'm all that typical of a gay Mormon, but it's always a pleasure to meet others whose worldviews fit well with my own.
ok so i read through the commune tweets and in fairness many of them were very reasonable and quite a few had manual labour of some kind as their jobs. e.g cook + welding + caprentry for one person, forklift driver + welder, accountant (lol), project managmeent (leg extremely important). so yeah, idk seems like more of a meme than a real thing.
Also if you ask me what my job would be in commune it would be like data science which sounds pretty pretentious but also my comparative advantage in the commune so idk.
