If possible it'd probably be ideal to delete all user posts and lock it with a post directing people to the new home, but leave it up for a while so people have a chance to learn where it went :)
Dunno if that's possible with Friendica, but I'm excited to join the new community, I wasn't previously aware of it!
I mean I also hate generative ai, but the answer is because you can reformat it into a new potentially more useful interface for a given usecase 😅
An article and an interactive timeline are different things, and having access to both is neat.
I'll probably stick to articles, at least in part because that works much better on mobile, but it's still nice to get a visualized timeline you can move through, one key event at a time
If you want to potentially sidestep some of people's frustrations you might consider just using the credibility rating and focusing on whether a group provides factual reporting, rather than left or right of center
You can also create a user experience that more carefully manages expectations of the feature by having it be opt in, but presenting the option to users when it becomes available. That gives you the opportunity to give a short blurb acknowledging its imperfections and also highlighting its potential value
As someone fairly to the left wing myself, the fact that lemmy is so left wing is both a blessing and a curse. I don't see Nazis around, but being in an echo chamber isn't great for your ability to engage with perspectives other than your own, and makes you succeptible to narratives that reinforce your existing views regardless of whether they're accurate
I'd love this feature, in spite of its flaws, but it does definitely have them. Its based on the US overton window, which will frustrate folks from other parts of the world who may already feel lemmy sometimes forgets the world beyond the US exists. And the US overton window is changing as a product of the trump administration which may warp mbfc results, which could honestly be really dangerous.
Focussing on the factuality and credibility might help you sidestep those problems and make a feature people would find less frustrating, potentially even to the point that you could make it opt out.
Generally I appreciate efforts to build healthier, less echo chambery discourse, thanks for the work you're doing ❤️
If anyone from lemmings.world could report this I'd appreciate it, I'm not exactly sure who reports go to, so I'm not sure if my report will end up in front of the mod of the instance this account is on
If anyone on lemmings.world could report this I'd appreciate it, I'm not positive of post reports go to the comm instance only, or the reporter's instance, or how that works
Not the person you replied to, but I'd like to offer another perspective
There's a difference between describing things, and giving someone credit.
Hitler loving his dogs doesn't make him not responsible for heinous crimes. It seems odd to me to suggest we not acknowledge that that's what people who do monstrous things look like
They're messy and complicated and have traits most would assess as good, and in many ways that only adds to their danger. They don't look like storybook villians, they look like human beings. They love dogs. At times they say reasonable, even compelling things. They make art. They had childhoods, and families, and loved ones. They suffer and bleed and experience joy like any human being does. And the closer you look, the more human they get.
There are a lot of other good answers, but it seems worth remembering lots of poor powerless folks hate trans folks too.
Part of the reason they're coming after trans people is because it's human nature to hate or fear those you don't understand and who are different. A dark, and sad part of human nature, but part of human nature nonetheless
All the other stuff folks are talking about is also a true, but it's not like they're unique in their contempt for people who are different
