Can we create a rule about not allowing spoilers (for those of us who can't watch live)? (lemmy.ml)

I just hate having qualifying and the races spoiled by headlines. I know this is "me" problem, but I can't be the only one, right?

Sweet!

And as for family/life timesuck, I totally get it. I'm in the same boat. That's why I can't watch live. I download the races after they're posted to /r/motorsportsreplays and watch them after the kids have gone to bed. And that way I can pause it to go to the bathroom or make some tea or whatever. Or if I fall asleep halfway through a race (as has happened multiple times), I can pick it back up the next night and watch the rest.

I don't know Lemmy's policy on torrents etc. but since we're small, I would imagine that we could get away with having our own /c/motorsportsreplays that's basically a mirror of what reddit has, without raising too many eyebrows.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the policies are on copyright in here, but I will likely prohibit the sharing of streaming links in this community. I don't want any reason for this community to get closed.

Fwiw, I use a vpn and f1tv for my F1 viewing. Works a treat.

Sleeping through part of a race is 100% dad behaviour and I've done it more than once. Annoying sometimes if you wake up on the last lap!
