It’s for the people who don’t know, I think.

This isn’t an Onion article?
This really was a Nicole from Toronto moment.
I really can’t think of a better solution then an @ everyone ping to be fair.
I feel like people on Lemmy are more… hmm, how to articulate… Aware of online hygiene? Quicker to be fatigued by the grievances found on other platforms that they don’t want to see on here. I think that may contribute to the hesitancy and protest regarding this method of communicating a community migration.
All I know is that a mass ping needs to have the blow softened a bit so people aren’t so upset. A pinned post sure, or maybe a roll call post asking people to comment acknowledgement of the move or notify they do not require a ping? Or perhaps set up a bot to post a “We are moving instances” image every once and a while so people can come across it in their feed? Have a bot crosspost new posts to the new community instance?
Either way, I think people will be mad about being pinged no matter what you do.
I do not find that to be the case at all in my circles, it’s usually the guys giving shit to other guys for expressing emotion and the emotionally expressive people (including women) riffing them for back for being assholes. There’s certainly a song and dance to doing this effectively.
I don’t really think it should be a gendered expectation but rather an everyone expectation. If someone is being vulnerable with you that wouldn’t otherwise, don’t be an asshole. If someone needs to be called out for exhibiting rude behaviour to someone else, do so in the way that works for your circumstances.
