Its worth noting that they had completed “15 to 20 contracts previously” and that they had negotiated previous contracts via text message. This process became the norm during the pandemic.
In other words it’s within this context that made it agreement… not that thumbs ups can universally be used to agree to contracts.

Turning off the internet/social-media will only throw gas on the fire grease on the guillotine me thinks.
I suspect (/hope lol) a lot of them will just use the reddit official app.
Dude’s a walking spoiler but damn can he act!
I just meant for this community. The only reason I didn’t message @Akhuyan directly is because they obviously chose not to include the community name and creating a post would indicate it’s popularity in order to validate my request/opinion.
I’m talking about this specific community yes. Since >90% of posts here are done by @Akhuyan this is barely a meta post lol
Wait is that some kid IRL? Or we talking about gpt speaking as a child?
Fuuuuuuck… Imagine if chat GPT started amending its results with… “EDIT: wElL tHiS bLeW uP oVeRnIgHt… tHaNkS fOr ThE gOlD kInD ReDdiToR”
That’d be so damn annoying haha
It would make the community a lot more useful. I’m not interested in visiting every new community but it would be nice to know they exist. Meanwhile having to open every post is very inconvenient compared to simply reading it in the title and know it exists if I want to check it out.
I say we make them invisible but still keep them for backend. Same with karma.
Besides base thresholds to prevent bots, it could also be used in mod recruitment to make sure mods are active members of the community. As Lemmy evolves other useful mod tools could also leverage those scores. Perhaps by giving either limited moderator powers or enhanced reporting powers to a communities most active members.
I fully agree that karma/vote-scores are contusive to creating toxic hive mind environments, but I think their visibility is the crux not their existence.
What’s even more annoying than google populating half the first page with ads is that the links don’t even work half the time these days.
If AI art is just ripping off IRL artists than it’s safe to assume chat GPT’s training was >50% reddit & Wikipedia content.
Prizes and awards could maybe stay, not sure
They should be used to fund the servers.
In combination with invisible vote scores and no karma it would be a good way to highlight great content without feeding into dopamine addiction.
Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.
Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.
But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.
Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.
Yea we need to all start engaging content we like as if it was reddit. There will probably be another influx of new people come July. As such we need their first impression to be that lemmy has an actual community beyond being burned by reddit.
Looks like our crowdsourced load testing was successful in revealing several bugs lol
It must be jarring leaving their bot/troll protected safe spaces of twitter/reddit and interacting with sane normal people.
We need enough people to agree on both a vehicle and a direction.
There are a lot of people dissatisfied with the current government(s) but don’t agree how to create change; be it through the current system, major modifications to the current system, or even more severe changes.
There are a lot of people who don’t want wide spread poverty/suffering, but don’t agree on how that problem should be dealt with; be it through universal income, massive public projects, or wealth taxation and better competition regulations.
IMO we need a new digital/decentralized/open-source/transparent ‘social media platform’ that can replace the current easily manipulated electoral systems.
We need ideas & policies to be independently actionable from the partisan politics that afaic specifically exist to mitigate change and maintain the influence of money in policy.
