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.
Than there’s the element of sites going down. Redundant conversations serve as a form of backup.
Saying you’d denounce a genocide you deny is happening isn’t accomplishing what you think it is.
People don’t equate “tankies” with “fascists” because you advocate some sort of marxist-inspired system of governance… it’s because denying the suffering of others when it’s politically convenient is absolutely the opening strategy of the fascist playbook.
Also, “Disown China”??? Nothing wrong with liking other countries but the way you guys talk about them is off putting and doesn’t come across as informed or even remotely unbiased.
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
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.
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.
I got a cat at 18 for the same reason I don’t want kids lmao. I like kids. I also like dogs. But I like leaving the house for more than 8 hours more and for that you need a cat.
