  • Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files?

  • It still transcended that.

  • What? There's tons of TV shows, many high budget, released in the last year

  • Network TV still does police and medical shows that have a 'monster/crime of the week' style, but it's rare now.

  • Do you actually like serialised content? Most TV is now serialised, as opposed to being episodic like X-Files.

  • got is like a bad off brand xenia warrior princess…

    It has nothing in common with Xena other than being in the fantasy genre.

    You may not like GOT, but that doesn't make it awful.

    Jump

  • That's mostly Disney content. Most series are 8-10 episodes long still, and there's more series made than there was in the 90s and 00s.

  • What TV shows do you like, OP?

  • When old.reddit.com dies, how will Lemmy grab more users?

    Jump

  • I would argue this is more damaging than most things for places like Lemmy. The wrong people pick up the communities and just abandon them or completely mismanage them. Can't be helped though.

  • Discuit just went open source, could federation be next?

    Jump

  • Federation has its downsides though, there's less cohesion across the board. A lemmy/kbin platform may have 20,000 users (an example) but most of them might end up with interacting on instances outside of the one they signed up on. Whereas everyone on Discuit, for instance, will be only interacting on Discuit. There's something to be said for how a userbase is spread, not just the amount of users. If Kbin wasn't federated and its own thing, its user trajectory and interaction could've been different - although having only recently arrived, I understand that features had stalled for a long time.

    I think the long-term trend of federation is smaller instances simply shutting down due to lack of interest/money in maintaining it without any noticeable growth and a small bloc of highly used instances dominating, one main one, and probably some politically charged ones orbiting it. Yes, anyone if they're annoyed with a particular instance can just down their tools and migrate to another instance - but if you've got or run communities on that instance, it is a downside.

    Although in Discuits case, yes, it is really, really basic - and that more than anything likely stopped it growing before anything else. There was also administrative problems and other issues that drained users. It hypothetically federating wouldn't help it at all. Their users would just stop using Discuit and use the larger communities all across Lemmy.

  • Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

    Jump

  • Third, Christian nationalism is, again, not relevant to these people. They do not see it as real nor do they see it as a real problem. They may engage with this discussion. So I don’t see a need to reword this one.

    The literal current Republican speaker of the House stated outright that the USA is "depraved" and key parts of his reasoning for this was the prominence of LGBT people in modern culture and declining church attendance and religious observation.

    I fully agree that your average random Republican doesn't necessarily hate LGBT people, or non-theists but they're simply not paying attention to the outrageous crap many elected representatives are saying.

  • Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, many Republican elected representatives are, to varying degrees, anti-LGBT and do support Christian encroachment into non-religious people's lives.

  • I said steam storefront, so I don't mean specifically asking for a subscription service. I mean if I want to watch a TV show now, I have to subscribe to a service. There's no option to buy it digitally in most cases.

  • Yo, ho! Yo ho! A pirates life for me...

    Jump

  • True, but this is also because there's no Steam Storefront option for people who like to watch TV.

  • Can't view the threads page of newcommunities@lemmy.world

  • Yeah I'm tempted to make a version of "newcommunities" for Kbin since MagHub just doesn't roll off the tongue (and is abandoned, although I doubt that is why it's so weak)
