Yeah. They can also travel during the conversation since time travel is instantaneous.

So separating the art from the artist?

Isn't there that whole controversy with kagi going on about ~~transphobia~~ homophobia stuff?

Edit: apparently it was homophobia not transphobia.

I found this search engine that helps find non commercial sites. www.marginalia.nu

Might be useful for finding those kind of sites again.

We currently have 40872 monthly active users.

700/40872 ~ 1.7% of all monthly active users.

After many hours of talks, it became clear that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.

I have two questions.

1. What are your long-term goals for your platform?

2. What are the downsides to Lemmy/ActivityPub stopping you from reaching those goals?

Also to answer the main question I'd like for it to stay but at the same time, the last time I checked Beehaw had around 700-ish Monthly active users. That means there probably wouldn't be that much of an impact on the general discourse of Lemmy more broadly.

That seems like enough to sustain a pretty big community on a private server even if about half of you left. So if you guys do decide to leave I wish you the best.

Thanks for this insightful comment. I didn't see it from that perspective before and I agree that using this sort of algorithm makes it harder for community moderation to happen in any capacity.

We should work towards making algorithms that work for us instead of thinking we can rely on just chronological feeds even as we scale. We are sort of doing this by adding scaled and controversial sort but there I think that there should be something more customizable than what we currently have.

Maybe having the defaults but also having some area where it is possible to define a personal sorting algorithm would be nice.

Is that possible?

Ok, then what do you think could be a potential solution?

Are you advocating that we move back to Reddit? I am not going to do that.

And if you aren't advocating we move back to Reddit how do you want to solve this perceived problem?

(I am saying perceived because I don't see it as a problem because with the fediverse you have a choice about where you can be and what rules you have to follow, unlike Reddit. Meaning that there are still consequences if the users decide to leave.)

I just wanted to thank you for giving actionable advice to them and having a pleasant tone.
