In this case, its automation. It's also a partial response to Reddits ineffectual moderator system. No-one is gunna spend all day monitoring comments from trolls and spammers on basic communities usually flooded with comments. I can't see anyone especially truly engaged to do so in (for example, and I have no idea if these communities do this) in r/aww or r/pics or r/jokes or r/videos, which are just pretty basic subreddits that aren't really hobbyist.

Whereas say, r/AskHistorians or some video game community or a music subgenre community likely will by their hobbyist nature attract more engaged moderators.

In the event of the transition, television will be promoted heavily. This particular community, moviesandtv has clearly seen better days. I used communities to promote ObscureMusic and quidlupled its activity (going from like 30 subscribers to over 165), and have had other people posting due to this.

They will do it so long as not doing it greatly increases the amount of busywork, spam moderation and troll moderation.

Sure, but it offers at least some protection.

By low karma I mean -100 types.

The traffic on Reddit is massive for highly populated subreddits. And these subreddits that restrict low karma account activities aren't doing it for any profit motive.

I understand Lemmy isn't really big enough for this to be a concern here.

Unfortunately, on reddit - when subreddits restrict new posters or low karma commenters, they're just trying to mitigate the impact of trolls and bots and people making new accounts. It's not about being elitist.

Yeah, I often just forget to upvote generally. Although this could lead to argumentative posters making troll posts, getting engagement and trending just because people reply to them.

This may not be an inherently bad thing given that low karma accounts tend to be trolls.

It's on my list, is it a miniseries or is there a cancellation risk?

Movies and TV are very different communities. There is a some crossover in the sense that some TV series finish into movies, sure, but the audiences can be quite different.

The "bro prestige shows". The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire. They're just fundamentally uninteresting to me as concepts. I'm not really a fan of crime shows.

If you don't like the direction of a movie or show, you can just watch something else. There is an entire caustic critic industry based around complaining about Disney. It is sad.

Well, sure, but we're not talking about anime here but heavily serialised live-action shows.

The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being 'tainted' by a raceswap, or being 'woke' in some way is off the scales.

There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There's an entire caustic critic industry over it. It's honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.

I’m not sure a significant number of people are interested in movies and not TV

I am. I mostly only watch TV. I definitely know lots of people who only watch movies and only care to follow movie updates and discussions.

I’m not opposed to the separation of movies and TV in principle. I’m mainly just concerned about how long it would take to rebuild that community.

I mean movies isn't going anywhere, and one of the communities here - moviesandtv despite the higher subscriber numbers is kinda dead.

Severance, Silo, For All Mankind, Dark Matter

To be sure, Foundation was very different - but it absolutely had (has) some good invented parts (Such as the Cleons)

Apple TV have pretty good success with tv shows

TV/Film are pretty different communities, but the overspill of them can be merged - to be sure.

Yeah... but doing what? Like a "filler" to me isn't specifically about an episode following an individual character. You can do that and not be "filler". If such an episode is in aid of furthering the overall plot of the show, giving the viewer wider context of how the character falls into it, showing their motivations etc. A character filler episode here is where the outcome of the episode essentially doesn't matter, and it's just done as a kind of break from the season/serial plot. Like Carol chasing rats and Daryl fixing his motorbike during those COVID era episodes of TWD.

That would be really out of place in Dark and would be just be whiplash.
