RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Just finished it. Bit of a deus ex machina ending, but it wrapped up nicely. It reminded me of Avengers Endgame in a certain way that will make sense once you see it.
It really is brilliant. The whole show is inspired. It's some of the most artistic, entertaining, high production values TV I've seen since The Last of Us.
Somebody from Lemmy recommended Silo and I loved it
A 2013-2016 British Sitcom starring Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Iwan Rheon called Vicious. Ian and Derek play an old gay couple who've been together for 50 years and are, well, vicious to each other. Fucking hysterical show if for no reason than to see Ian camp it up. Also really appreciate grabbing two famous gay actors to play the parts.
I've been binging Perry Mason.
Dune Prophecy and Silo S2.
Checking out Pantheon on Netflix. Animated sci fi. Really interesting plot so far though I'm only 3 episodes in
I have just started watching this 1961 movie "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" I find surprisingly not old.
Finished Arcane and Cross (on Prime). Started Silo. Ep 1 already has me questioning the writing.
I just finished Arcane. Next is my weekly anime. I'm keeping up with Tower of God.
Started season 3 of Vox Machina.
Carnivale, some ru Paul’s drag race uk, and first ep of silo.
I found silo disappointing. Hopefully it picks up. It was like watching someone else play tomb raider. I thought fallout was the shelter show derived from a game!
Arcane! It's the best TV I've seen in a long time! I've already written extensively about it on Lemmy a few times this week, so I'll keep this short, but it's definitely worth a watch. It starts like a kid's show, but dramatically shifts tone after the first episode. It has 100% on rotten tomatoes and for once, I agree with the ridiculous rating.
Star Trek.
Watching Alex Cross, actually quite decent .... I hope they add in a few songs from Tupac lol
