Just finished up and I liked the spy thriller premise but it does rank lowest in my D+ series ranking. The entire thing feels like a setup, but for... (fill in the blank with not a waste of time at some point in the future please)?

Ritson's response is painfully USian, so it tracked for me, but it's like globally, aliens aren't a new concept so... Why?

So daft that you can't somehow differentiate between good aliens and bad aliens and given that the globe is already dealing with the blip fallout and repatriation efforts a million seems like such a miniscule number, so, who cares?

G'iah as super-super-super powered individual seems too much to me, even as I was accepting that Gravik had cracked the ability to get some powers, it still wasn't an end all be all issue. Now you've introduced some potential meta-threat that's just tacked on the end of one of the weaker D+ series and for what? Like what is going to be done with this character or is she just going to be shuffled off and sidelined?

I don't like the way that the series just did away with established characters (Hill especially, Talos because wholesome AF, liked him) so casually, though. Like the deaths felt they lacked any real weight to them. They felt like just things.

I do like Varra. So, so much I like her. I doubt she'll ever show up again but for what it's worth, I like her.

I feel for the Skull plight. I just wish that they'd gotten better than this. Surely there is more to it than Gravik vs. Talos/Fury.

Maybe whatever it's setting up will make it something I want to watch again in the future, but for now, sadly, one watch was enough.

As someone in that weird space of end GenX/too early to be Millennial, I support you.

It started with a discussion on sh.itjustworks, but due to the open nature of federation, anyone can wander in to the discussion, as you can see with input from users outside our instance.

There was some confusion, some trolling, but I think if as a user you weren't really active in our Main or Agora communities it may not have been something you would have been aware of, if that makes sense.

Honestly in my experience, most (I'd say as close to all as you can get) of sh.itjustworks users are really just here to chill and make an awesome experience.

Genuine apologies, as that's not my intent.

We've had what has seemed (to me) an influx of just really bad faith and downright trolling type stuff going down recently and it's perhaps colored my take on things more than I realized, and it probably has for others as well.

We really did just come here for the chill vibe, read the thing, and were like "yeah, this works for me."

Other things may get added to that block list in the future, yes. I pointed you to the Agora because you may not, as a new user, be aware of it, as the Dude set it up as the place where these kinds of decisions will most likely be made in the future and where community discussions tend to be focused.

However, as a Canadian based instance, they have different laws on what does and doesn't put them at risk, so there are times where those calls may be his and his to make alone (which is why there are two where there was only one on the list of defederated).

You're asking a person with a day job who is doing a cool thing for the fediverse community and set up a community in sh.itjustworks (Agora) to handle these possible future blocks to give you a granular breakdown of the blocking of one instance in a justification they don't really owe you.

The community itself is trying to be chill and just vibe. If what we're doing fits what you're looking for, welcome.

Given that your account showed up immediately during the defederation of sh.itjustworks discussion and the removal of a certain account and community, I think the bad faith argument is valid.

This is the way.

Given that one of the rules for the server is no bigotry, I would assume that extends to the ones we federate with from what I read.

"Shit just works", but that's just because I came here when others were overwhelmed, so...
