Show me the link?

I changed the URL. Fixed it now.

Is there a febridge chat?

!forumverse@piefed.social

Also, I made the community.

Some were already in, but have been added to online media (under entertainment -> media) and medical respectively (blood donors)

I might make a "Journaling" nest based on 2 of yours there, but I'll wait until I get some more.

Oh, I've already added these to my list.

It's due to our Online Safety Act.

Lemmy.zip has geoblocked the UK. What's it going to?

I'm sure I suggested this to you in the matrix, but also allowing multiple parent feeds would be ideal.

So I would put "Star Wars" as a child of both "Fandom" and "Sci-Fi"

I have added everything I didn't have there into the relevant categories.

How would I organise "Collapse"? It is basically a place for doomer-climate-collapse communities and a few prepper places atm. It's a hybrid of lifestyle, environmentalism and anti-capitalism/doomerism etc.

"Regional" leads to national communities. Canada, USA, UK etc.

“Music” might be a simply top level category to add. I can help with this one if needed.

Music and Video Games are under "Entertainment" atm, but sure. Ideas?

Not sure what communities fall under Technology. I can provide a broader selection of choices if needed.

Well until some collaborative function arrives, I'll scan communities posted on advertising communities and invite people to communicate to me their community and its categories. Taking advice for new sub-feeds and reorganisation in here, or indeed, on a hypothetical matrix room.

Done

@Emperor@feddit.uk this is what I meant.

since I made this post i'm making a huge Forumverse. These'll be on it. Stay tuned.

Maybe. But I'd like it if we had a few more instances of severed disappeared people on the basement floor rather than just Ms. Casey to reflect that it's something beyond just one person.

Maybe, but a wider point is that the gambit also seemed to rely on Mark joining Lumon in the first place. Which seem like a jump for them to make.

Also what kind of cool twist would be Harmony Cobol waking up from a “coma” when she was fired without any knowledge of what she did for the last few years. Would tie really good with the “She’s Alive” at the end of the first season to show how Lumon has that power to disappear and reappear people.

Also I get the impression that (gunna use spoilers now): ::: spoiler spoiler There was a bit of a rewrite with Harmony's character. I don't think she was originally written as the actual person who made the chips (who Lumon then stole the work from and reassigned her to be some middle-manager). Her actions and the company's actions to her in S01 don't make much sense in light of that plot reveal. She'd be a major risk to the company if somehow left off the leash.. yet they just let her go just assuming she won't reveal everything? What's to stop her from driving straight to Mark in that moment and telling him all about Gemma?

(Although I have some misgivings beyond that regarding her S01 firing) :::

It would be much more interesting Harmony Cobol was a promoted “innie” who now runs the persons entire life with the outie being hidden away forever. Now that is an interesting twist and a better satire.

I thought of this. Or at least for Milchick as a 'self-made innie' for someone who might not have grown up in Lumon.

It makes sense that Lumon would offer that kind of incentive ultimately for innies: take over your outties life.

I'm gunna go ahead and actually, in a way, say Severance. Despite its amazing acting, ending, cinematography and unique premise. Spoilers (general below) - the organisation behind it seems to be suffering from a kind of villain decay.

Severance S02 had a great and impactful ending that set the stage for S03, but Lumon itself as an organisation is still bizarre and barely explained. It got all the personal arcs of the main 4 right, but not the purpose behind Lumon (beyond them just being some dysfunctional cult). And I don't mean Lumon is shrouded in mystery in the sense of leaving the user to wonder after being fed shreds, but the whole meta behind that organisation just seems like a complete mess. They're global and powerful yet seem to exclusively reside in this single building with a management that consists of a half-dozen people purely circling around experimenting on two people. I could go on here if pressed. I want to know more about Lumon but it seems the writers are just focusing on "haha weirdo cult", "milchick epic dancer" etc.

It's set up as a weird combination and criticism of cults (it's very scientology coded) and work culture in general but hasn't really progressed much there.
