Sorry if this has been discussed here before, I‘m a new reddit refugee and I just stumbled over this community, awesome that this place already exists again! I always enjoyed the discussion threads on the subreddit throughout a race weekend, so I was wondering if something similar will be done here? On the other hand, this community is still very small, so it may be a little overkill I guess. Looking forward to following my first GP through Lemmy either way - I‘ll see you all on Friday
I’d like to add, as someone who has to time-shift watching the grand prix, I sure would appreciate not having the weekend spoiled in post titles. I literally had to unsubscribe and even filter out r/formula1 because they’d post spoilers in post titles.
The community has voted for no spoilers in thread titles, but I won’t have the rules in place by the time th GP comes around, so I can’t promise it will be enforced by then.
Sweet, I’m not sweating one grand prix weekend. But if it’s the overall rule, I’m a happy camper.
Living in NZ means I watch most races on a Monday morning. I have a social media blackout until I have watched it. That works fine, and a little less time spent staring in the black mirror is good for the soul anyway.
Same here over the ditch.
I try and make sure I always work from home on the Monday after a race too so I can watch it at my desk on the iPad.
Only problem is when google is like, hey here’s this news story about that racing you like in my notifications on my phone.
I think it is very hard to discuss the weekend without mentioning what happened… Maybe there is a better way of doing this. Maybe tags and filtering somehow? Or marking spoilers nsfw? Not sure what is possible in Lemmy.
Maybe having a set time amount between the end of a session before individual posts are allowed? Keep just a mega thread?
I think they maybe mean just don’t put the winner’s name in the post title?
so instead of the post saying “Max Verstappen wins the Canadian Grand Prix”, it would say “[Spoiler] wins the Canadian Grand Prix”
that way people could browse the general community and only have the result spoiled if they intentionally click on the discussion thread to read inside
in other communities I typically see a 24-hour no spoiler rule on post titles
I have the same issue when I only watch highlights instead of the race, but I’ve always just avoided my phone until I watch!
