If you put them up for sale somewhere I’d love to know about it!

Hope you have a lovely day ☺️

This might potentially be a worthwhile submission for the internet is beautiful comm :)

Just checked and the comm on .ee seems to be the only one really active

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

This one is so sweet. She doesn’t miss a beat; to her it’s just another day of Calvin being a strange and imaginative child

Is that a sticker we can get? That looks dope

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 ❤️

Is he a creep because of the google data privacy stuff or something else?

Not quite the same thing but the thought that comes to mind-

I fondly remember this one day in particular from when I was working in a woodshop, it was cold out and the garage I worked out of wasn’t insulated. I was stopping to take my lunch break.

It was a stressful job, learning tons of new skills, many completely unrelated to woodworking, my boss wasn’t always pleasant to me, but this day I was content with myself, and I just remember drinking hot water with lemon juice out of my insulated water bottle, eating my ham and cheese sandwich, and watching the world out the open garage door as a song I loved by Emanicpator played from my phone speaker

And I just felt at peace with myself and the world. Content with the moment I was existing in.

It’s a feeling I reminisce about periodically. Sometimes I find that place, at the most trivial of times, and its kinda magical :)

Now that’s what you call a lore-callback >.>

Huh, that’s super cool!!

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

Thats honestly fantastic lol

When your experience seems totally alien to any you’ve seen around you it can be disorienting, and folks often try to figure out how they fit in 🤷‍♂️

That’s pretty normal, and personally I find it kinda heartwarming watching someone find that others share similar experiences, and gaining new words for their experience basically in real time

As someone who has been through that process of figuring out how to articulate my experience and understand it, I know it can really help you process your identity

Beeper is run by an asshat? I’d live more info, I was kinda interested in moving some things to beeper at some point

I think the golden rule of using any kinda identity based label is generally to just call people the label they use for themselves

Obviously doesn’t apply to labels that are offensive and are being used by an in-group to take ownership of them, but still

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.

And then they kill 17 million people.

Oh neat, I’d never seen that before

It is, and somehow that escaped me… 😅

I mean there’s the Lemmy mouse mascot guy, but yeah instances are already pretty established
