  • Many in the community recently asked us to start removing political videos, and we put it up for a vote a few weeks ago.

    We’ll leave this up since it’s a fake candidate and basically just a skit about a man with a silly name. But anything regarding public policy, foreign policy, or a real politician should likely go to the new political videos community.

    Ideally we could solve this problem with tags and filtering, but lemmy just isn’t there yet, and this is what the regulars in c/videos have repeatedly asked for.





  • I’ll speak as someone who has been in the creative space for 20 years.

    Non-“making” work is a large part of any creative job. Sometimes it can be the bulk of the time spent doing the work. A professional isn’t just making; they’re often researching, synthesizing, pitching, negotiating, documenting, formatting, etc. All of that stuff is just as important.

    I would check in with a community of professional writers and bring specific examples. An example type of job, the vague topic, the word count, the time spent writing, the time spent formatting in their tool, etc.

    They can help to identify the gaps and problem-solve around it. Is the client underpaying? If so, how do you avoid that in the future and/ or negotiate a higher rate now? Or, is the writer spending too much time writing? If so, what are some techniques to expedite the craft?
