The plan is to make a weekend a race discussion, I am working on getting a bot running to automate the process but as we get things going it will be manual.
As for race spoilers in titles we have not made a decision, May need to get a community vote going. I living in west coast US also dislike the spoilers but try to remember folks are pretty excited about their team winning. Not sure how I would vote at this time. Please think about it yourselves.
We shall be trialling a single post to cover the whole weekend of racing for the Grand Prix.
We are still a small community (though rapidly growing!) and we don't have bots to do stuff for us (yet!).
If that doesn't end up working, we'll look at splitting it up further.
I’m trying to figure out if this is now the major hub for F1 fans or if Discord OS winning—any numbers from either? I certainly prefer it here!
I tried out the discord and just found it wasn’t nearly as good for having a forum style discussion. It was basically a big group chat with everyone having their own conversations over each other without a real way of organizing them. I’m hoping this community here can be the new hub!
Yeah, I really hope this becomes the place. Anything we can do to encourage the Discord group to migrate here or to get r/Formula1 to update their blackout message?
We can probably share this community link in the off-topic channel on the discord. Not sure about the blackout message though (doesn’t actually even show on most mobile 3rd party apps like Apollo). I’m not certain where the Reddit F1 mods will fall in wanting to pull people out of the subreddit definitively.
Either way I agree, hoping we can make this a lively enough place.
No discord please. It was ok for playing games but any kind of discussion is better to be asynchronous like on a forum
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.
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.
