I figured until we figure out an automatic option, a weekly thread is probably ok, especially since Lemmy does a great job at bringing threads back up to the top if they get comments.
Rules:
- Talk about whatever’s on your mind
- But please, please, please be kind
I don’t know about a specific concert, but I’d want to go back to a time when everyone’s not on their phone and just enjoying the experience. Man I sound old and grumpy lol
I went to a Puscifer concert at the Greek last summer and the rule was no phones out or you get kicked out because it’s distracting and takes away from living in the moment. They were very serious and a couple of people did get kicked out after doing it again when warned. During the last song they let us take out phones for pictures. It was great and I hope that concept gains traction.
That’s awesome. I’m impressed they enforced it.
There are some comedians who have a similar policy, going as far as confiscating everyone’s phones before the show. No one ever calls me, but if I had kids or elderly parents I don’t know if I could tolerate that
I agree with you. People should be able to discreetly check to make sure there’s no emergency happening. Plus, if there was an emergency situation at the venue, that would really suck if no one had a phone to call for help.
Hey man, that’s fair. One of my answers is to go back in time to see the first ever concert just to see what it was like, people may not have even been standing for that one for all I know!
