Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.

Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?

We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?

    It isn’t very long, but I just wrapped up Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem For Vengeance.

    It’s kind of obvious that it was a rather low-budget show, which is a pity because the story concept is something I’ve wanted for ages, but now won’t be repeated because it was done and didn’t fare well.

    Bookwise, I’m chewing my way through The Dresden Files.

      Interesting that you mentioned Gundam, I started with the original series and then sort of switched over to Macross and finished the original season of that. Neither one really struck a cord with me… I’m more of a Space Battleship Yamoto 2199 person I guess

        I admit unfamiliarity with SBY2199 beyond seeing some clips and understanding the basic concept.

        That said, from what I do know, it’s more of a… dramatic-flare show, whereas Gundam (especially the Universal Century) tends to be a bit grittier, grim, and grounded about war? You might enjoy Mobile Suit Gundam 00, which (from my perspective) is I think a little more “Yamato-like”.
