the community over there was started by bankers after the successful takedown of antiwork as a means of coopting the movement and deradicalising it

I’m not sure about that - I was part of the original antiwork sub, but it was clear that the sub consisted of a mix of folks - there were the “literal” antiwork folks who want to abolish paid labor, and people who wanted better wage equality. After the whole Doreen incident, the latter split off into workreform.

Not the same - I started using lemmy after the reddit changes and thought this place deserves a workreform community as well!
