In this case a reply informing you about the missunderstanding would also work. My hope is that one of the people downvoting will take the time to do that when there is no downvote button.
Yeah, I think we are pretty much in agreement. We will see how the instances without downvoting turns out over time. Thats the beauty of federated services I guess, its just a small part of the whole ecosystem.
I'm torn on the whole no downvote button thing (I missed that when I signed up), but you can be still nice while having a discussion and disagreeing with people.
I would argue that the downvote button can lead to exactly what you are describing though, no disagreement or conflict.
Someone posts a unpopular opinion, a bunch of users downvote it to hell and poof!, no discussion or exchange of ideas. Just out of mind, out of sight.
Nice. I didn't know about that option.
Edit: The setting is also avaliable on the jerboa android app and it is tied to your profile so it carried over which is convenient.
Ok, so I don't like most anime I tried watching, but as you described it as not very anime, I looked it up and it seemed kinda neat. I borrowed the first season from the internet and just watched the first two episodes.
So far it's really good, thanks a bunch for the rec! I would never have found this show and given it a chance on my own.
Also when I looked it up I saw it described as hard science fiction. Never heard that term before. After some cursory research I think this might be the kind of sci-fi for me.
Another great reply! Thanks man!
This show does seem like my kinda deal. I don't think I will mind the effects. If being honest I kinda hoped there wouldn't be any space battles in it. Not to many I hope. I am really looking for more of a drama than a action show.
Is there any kind of "slice-of-life onboard the station" elements in it. The thing that stuck out to me in the snippet I read about the show was that it portrayed how individuals were affected by bigger events in the story.
I think I'll check out DS9 too. One thing I learned is when people describe movies and shows as "a little slow" I tend to like them.
No promises!
Is Babylon 5 worth watching?
The reason I'm asking is instead of just giving it a go is it isn't available to stream in my region. So I would have to acquire it in some other way if I give it a go.
I have never seen it before. I'm not a huge sci-fi fan or anything. I watched some Star Trek: TNG and liked it just fine. Do not like OG Star Trek at all.
I just landed on the B5 wikipedia page and the synopsis intrigued me.
Has it aged ok or does it feel like old? I don't care all that much if the effects or make up is a bit dated. It's more that the acting and storylines in 90's tv shows isn't always the greatest. Is it heavy handed with trying to give the viewer moral lessons like some older shows tend to? Also not looking for a action show nor do I care all that much about shocking story twists that newer media tends to lean on.
So TLDR I guess: Is the story and acting good?
I know it's hard to recommend things to people you don't know so any kind of input would be appreciated.
