Do they? Piefed.world has turned it off.

I don't believe Piefed instances have to run a reputation system though. Piefed.world, I believe, has disabled it.

Foundation is on its third series of tomorrow.

Warrior (2019), Severance, Dark, Silo, For All Mankind, Dark Matter (2024), The Expanse all may appeal.

Do you do live-action international series?

What tv do you like? (Other than Star Trek)

Did you not have to "seek out" older series too?

Yeah but there's way more series made now compared to the 00s and 90s when 20 episodes a season was the norm

Well to each their own, but a serialised show doesn't really work elongated out to 20 episodes a season. Unless it's a really long book series adaptation.

Most shows like that though didn't "cram" much into most of their episodes though. They were often at least partially episodically designed where the cast just solved a weekly crime, or case or slayed some monster and then soft-reset at the end with only small effects to the wider season/series arc.

Every single time. I have yet to see a false positive.

To be fair, the system does (or did - rimu has acknowledged this) immediately identify a new user as "toxic" on the back of a single comment ranked at 0. It does need a higher threshold.

To be clear, some of the things you're complaining about are specific aspects of piefed.social and may not necessarily be the settings instance admins roll with on their own hypothetical piefed.

Rimu has decoupled and changed a lot of the functions from being embedded into piefed as optional, and has changed some of his positions.

I think the core concept of platforms like Reddit and Lemmy can be very valuable but it's executed very badly. There should be multiple independent steps of verifying if someone should get banned and in what way. And probably integrate a good test for joining the community so that it's more likely for people to be rational from the start (that way you don't even have to look at so many potential flags).

Neither of these things are logistically viable for a community site that wants any level of consistent engagement. How do you "verify" whether or not a ban from a community was objectively justified? What "tests" should there be for whether or not someone should be able to interact in a community in the first place?

Piefed and Lemmy can mostly communicate with each other. In any case, you can't really compel Lemmy to update as fast as Piefed is.

There's two factors to this. Lemmy has been slow on developing new features. Eventually people give up despite all the promises. This sort of competition was inevitable, and two - and this cannot be changed - there's a lot of resentment and resistance to using their software for political reasons.

I don't know the details of all decisions lemmy.world instance admins have made, but it seems to me that the #1 instance will always generate the most animosity because it's far more likely than any other instance to find itself in situations where they're pressed to make decisions by their userbase.

Servers with 20% of the users and 10% of the communities, with only like a dozen 'active' communities will simply hardly ever be in that position and generate no meaningful pushback so they'll always look good by comparison. Additionally, even lemmy.world community mods can generate hostility based on decisions they made despite them having nothing to do with the instance management - and since lemmy.world dominates, you're much more likely to be posting in a lemmy.world community.

Shows like Dark seem an obvious fit for plot > characters. I'd also add The Handmaids Tale here. It should've had a stronger plot but had many writing problems. But characters like Serena, Fred (in a horrible way), Lawrence, Lydia were interesting.

And in the reverse, sitcoms mostly are character-driven with just basic templates. Perhaps I should've specified what scripted drama shows have better characters than plot.

So you don't binge it all in a few days and unsubscribe from Netflix.

This way they get 2 months from people rather than 1.

I'm not sure, but I think there /might/ be a codeberg issue for this. I know I've personally inquired about it.

Well it wouldn't shrink as such, people would just abandon their accounts - but they'd still be signed up.

At some point it could be necessary to close registrations which would be fine as there are other instances people can use and Lemmy has shown that the dev-run instance doesn't need to be the biggest.

Is this something that you project could be required to implemented on a long-term basis? I ask this because new accounts (and this goes for anywhere) can sometimes just be instantly forgotten and abandoned, meaning that you would be in effect overseeing your own userbase tanking as older accounts just get forgotten but no-one can 'replace' them (in the sense of signing up).

In my mind, some kind of automated clean-up system is ideal here but idk how that would work without accidently purging alt accounts with specific purposes.

Just had a massive post in television@piefed.social

+58 subscribers over the weekend

There are many 'feel-good' shows though. Ted Lasso, The Good Place, Heartstopper. Or thought provoking shows like For All Mankind.

A lot of people like 'grim' stuff also though
