I vote for work reform name change.
Anytime I mentioned antiwork to someone, the first thought they had was lazy people not wanting to work and I would have to explain the movement. After explaining everything and making good points, they would just stare at me and then ask 'why is it called antwork'?
The work reform name explains itself. And who wouldn't want to improve and reform their workplace. Its instantly much more relateable.
That is a bit like calling something "communism" and then explaining that in reality you mean social democracy. I think you just misunderstood what Antiwork is about and might simply be at the wrong place. So yes, by all means: make a new community and share your ideas about reforming the work-place there (those are good too).
