Abstract

This study applies a thread-based interaction model to enhance user connections within online communities, utilizing diffusion and analytical methods. The diffusion approach is employed to implement a thread structure that facilitates structured and focused conversations among users. These threads enable users to engage in discussions that are more organized and relevant to their interests. Furthermore, analytical methods are applied to map topics and connect related threads. Through the use of topic mapping algorithms, users can discover the most relevant threads aligned with their interests, thereby enhancing their engagement and participation within the community. During the experiment, the effectiveness of the interaction model is evaluated by measuring user connection and engagement levels. The research findings indicate that users are more likely to engage in deeper discussions and connect with other users through this approach. By combining the diffusion method for thread structuring and analytical methods for topic mapping, this study contributes to enhancing the ways users connect and interact within online communities.

Abstract

Amidst the waves of globalization and social change, issues pertaining to sexual identity and gender orientation, particularly those involving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals, have given rise to complex discourses within the realms of religion and society. This article explores the emerging differences of opinion surrounding LGBT, notably in Indonesia, where the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) rejects LGBT as a sexual deviation contrary to the teachings of Islam, while the Liberal Islamic Network (JIL) acknowledges the diversity of human sexual preferences. Concurrently, in the Western context, the LGBT movement has spurred demands for political recognition, healthcare protection, and roles within military and parliamentary institutions. Additionally, this article highlights the role of social media in reshaping societal perceptions of LGBT and its impact on existing stigmas. Within this framework, the Islamic view towards LGBT is examined, depicting the conflict between religious perspectives and societal norms. Nonetheless, Islam also offers tolerance within the context of worship. This research employs a qualitative analysis approach to scrutinize Islamic legal interpretations and diverse societal perspectives on the LGBT issue. The aim is to investigate the harmony or conflict between the Islamic viewpoint on LGBT and prevailing societal norms. By delving deeply into the two primary pillars that shape individuals' perspectives and behaviors—namely Islamic legal interpretations and societal norms—this article seeks to provide a broader insight into the dynamics of LGBT-related debates. Through an inclusive and scientific approach, this article aspires to identify emerging points of harmony and conflict, thereby offering valuable contributions to discussions on pluralism, tolerance, and human rights within the context of religion and society.
