The death of community | February 3, 2025

Today we enter amino as usual. After the strike of January 29, 2025 you would think team amino would be more considerate of the circumstances creating anything for the community and amino . However it is clear amino does not care about the s.

This marks the death of community

You see my philosophy is that AI is a tool and to many people AI is this thing that replaces human beings. You see AI can do many incredible things but human intelligence, creativity, and thought will not be replaced by it. Team amino could’ve perfectly held a contest for verified frame artists, even host a private community for frame event artists to design sets for amino.

Instead team amino perfected to showcase that they value profits than community. They replaced its own s with AI. Can we look at it again? Instead of creating frames designed by a person they used an AI program.

What happened?

What happened to the amino that cared about community? We used to have pride frames, where are they? We used to honor female amino leaders in women’s history month , what happened? We used to create a frames with important messages like suicide prevention, what happened ? The shark frame? The bee stickers? What just happened?

Amino can still host events with its community. It can make events about awareness months. Like breast cancer awareness a pink ribbon, a black history month frame using the black heritage flag, or something. When I saw the fundraiser event I thought wow amino is making a change! After these events I do not know.

We no longer honor communities. We no longer honor leaders, curators, committee , teams, editors, frame artists, translators, helpers, or just our . You can replace the popular aminos, replace inactive staff from dying aminos, you can replace volunteers, you can replace the staff that aid in the development of amino apps, but you absolutely cannot replace community with AI.

Final sentiment

Any decision really needs to consider the feelings of the s still around. How crazy is it ? Many s have stayed after witnessing and continuing to witness the poor decisions made on an app used by many. If amino cares about its s it needs to the message that drove s to this app which is that it builds community.
