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.

Dunno lol

But one way or another the fedverse is going to be funded by its users/instance-admins.

I think the awards got out of hand on reddit… but having 1-5 on lemmy would be a fun way to incentivize donations.

Plus I do think the sort by gilded was useful in combination with viewing just the comments of a sub/com.

modern society

You mean theocrats, aka christo-fascists and neo-christo-fascists.

Almost every single problem with society today is because of outdated social constructs and the religious tenants that enforced them overstaying their welcome while humanity continues to evolve.

Yup. This is clearly exampled in the generally negative attitude towards reddit awards aka their only real revenue stream afaik.

“If you run a company based on the goodwill of millions of volunteer users, contributors, and moderators, one of your top priorities should probably be to focus on making them happy.”

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.
