The shows don’t have to be English or not kids shows if it’s in your top 10

Foundation also hate-watched and could not get over how awful over production it is coupled with the easy to please fan base, which I don’t fucking get.

Because people really, really liked the Cleons. And overall I think the base did improve over the seasons - not just that aspect.

Strange to see anyone having such visceral hatred for Dark Matter just given to me, at its worst, I would consider it boring.

Do you like any of the apple sci-fi/mystery/thriller stuff?

What, you got that far into Dark Matter or just the first episode?

Do you read fictional books or play narrative-driven games?

I’m curious as to what kind of TV series you would like to see, or imagine would or should exist in your ideal world where the industry hasn’t been tainted.

I mean it takes money to make TV series? I think there’s plenty of great modern TV series.

So you referenced Breaking Bad, and you think that’s bad too?

You ever think it’s just, for the most part, TV apparently isn’t for you - rather than it all being bad?

What TV do you like?

ABC denied it. Updated.

It’s less about the subtitles (or dubbing) but more that the jokes won’t work when translated. Does that make sense?

That is supposed to be good, but I’ve always been a bit cautious of non-english comedies on the basis that jokes to some extent are rooted in wordplay and require understanding the native language tropes (ie: a lot would be lost in subtitles).

Brave New World, Warrior, The Peripheral, Constellation, 1983, 1989. Too many.

In theory, yes, but it would have to scale up significantly in order to be noticed. And then since it would be split across many difference instances would be a logistical nightmare for authorities.

Ofcom don’t know what the Fediverse is.

They don’t need to lawyer up if they have no presence in the UK. They can just send them a meme picture of a hamster.

Lemm.ee shut down for entirely unrelated reasons.

It might be hard to enforce for every instance but even if only 1% of instance admins get strongly worded letters threatening fines if they don’t follow the law, I guarantee you that many more will just decide that it’s not worth the risk, they close their instances and we end up with even fewer users than before.

Lol, Ofcom still are stuck trying to ban 4chan. You overestimate their ability.

Quite hard to enforce that given even with growth, it would be federated.

I simply wanted a fresh space to build new communities on a service that better promotes the visibility of content. Reddit is busy, but it’s also old and tired. Every community name is taken. All the names are used up. Some are actively maintained with enthusiasm, some are run by skeleton crews and others are mostly abandoned. Just because a site has all the people doesn’t mean you can get engagement there because more people also means more competition for visibility.

I’m pretty sure the vast majority of all penned in functions were present at base before Piefed had anyone specifically scrutinising the code, before the platform was more popular. That is to say that the software itself was originally more designed in a personalised way, and then many core functions were removed. Yes, someone noticed it each time - but I am not aware of anything specifically ‘snuck in’ here.
