While posting and commenting in this community, you must abide by the Lemmy.World Terms of Service: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. We ask that the users report any comment or post that violates the rules, and to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting.

Wish I had seen this before the movie was over!

Yeah. I hate that I post these so late, literally right before. Most people say that's dumb and I would too. The problem is numbers don't lie. Every post has an exponential decay in visibility and people tend to not follow up hours or days after its mention. More people just show up when it's posted 10 minutes before sadly. I hate it.

Because what I'm doing is already.. slightly spammy, I can't post it multiple times to get the best of both world or that would be ridiculous. So I have to post it at the time that works best. I really wish that wasn't 10 minutes before. It's off by everyone's intuition for how it should work including my own. But outcomes don't lie. In one case I'll have no one show up and I'm watching a movie by myself, and the other we actually have people.

For the people who want to plan longer term, it's every Friday at 8pm Eastern.

Fair enough. I appreciate you managing it, even if I end up not attending.
