Same here. Honestly the first close to 10 seasons were amazing, but I think they started to run out of really great comedians, and like you mentioned the spontaneity that made it so amazing when it was new started to cannibalize itself with new contestants playing things up to match a comedy formula.
I guess all comedians try to be funny, but the latest series struck me as much less genuine and fun.
Did the expanse get cancelled or am I misremembering that? I loved it, but once I heard it wasn’t getting renewed I just forgot about it to save myself the trauma.
For both series, the first 2 seasons are kinda rough. Once they figured out what worked they really start to shine from S3 onward. Personally I hated the whole Bajoran arc on early DS9.
Same here, despite the fact that Lemmy is built on Rust and React which I find far more technically interesting, I’ve decided to help out on Kbin, which is fullstack PHP.
Agreed. Like the above poster mentioned, the same issue has existed on Reddit, but it’s had much more time for “winners and losers” to emerge from the battle for members. I do have to say I still don’t know how to search for communities here (I’m on Kbin), and it would be very convenient to be able to type “technology” or whatever and see a list of all named communities across all instances currently being federated with, and then have the option to aggregate them into a single feed.
Yeah, why pioneer a free and open platform just so you can curate a censored and closed echo chamber? That’s why I chose Kbin, ernest seems much more interested in the success and development of the community and platform than enforcing whatever flavor of ideology.
Congrats, you’re one of the first lunatics I’ve seen since joining the Fediverse!
TNG and DS9 are my go to comfort watch! Voyager wasn’t too bad either. Stay away from the TNG movies though, unless you just wanna laugh.
