Something I realized on Mastodon years ago (well before the Twitter/X thing) is it quickly doesn’t matter so much to me how many active users a platform has. A platform is good enough if there’s some activity, and I like being there. Lemmy was already something I checked when I saw only a handful of new posts a day.
Anyway, that’s just my perspective. I’m not too concerned about downtrends of active users.
There really needs to be more than a 5s penalty for intentionally running a driver off the road like Hamilton did. In the end no consequences for him, while Piastri’s race was ruined. Total simracing move from Lewis.
Map Men Map Men Map Map Map Men!
That lemmy.world community explicitly ALLOWS spoilers. So if you get annoyed by spoilers like I am, that community is worse. At least this community on lemmy.ml has a rule against them… Technically anyway…
There’s another F1 community on lemmy.world which explicitly allows spoilers. I think it’s great people have a choice between communities with slightly different rules. So it’s doubly disappointing if people ignore the spirit of this community and post spoilers anyway.
Yeah I appreciate the post for discussion, but I subscribe to this community specifically because of rule number 1: “No spoilers in post titles”
A few more:
I had the same reaction, “How did I miss this back in 2021?”
Yeah probably not a future WDC. Sainz and Bottas are successful drivers in my book though. And we’ve had a fair amount of underperforming rookies these past years so seeing Piastri fighting near the front and keeping out of trouble is pretty cool.
What a brilliant first lap from Piastri. Aggressive, precise, clean. I hadn’t paid too much attention to him this year, but it’s starting to look like he has the promise of a successful F1 career.
I haven’t watched any pre-race coverage for years. I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
What a pillock. Guess what Peter, we actively dislike you too.
