Public voting, or at least semi public-voting helps cultivate a high-trust culture on-site in my opinion. And being able to remove repeat offending downvoters who do it nonetheless is very useful.

I managed to discover the serial downvoters on my old lemm.ee comm and when I banned them (about 4 of them?) it had a huge impact. They didn't all downvote /everything/ but they downvoted a lot of things, and no contribution. And if they got in early, they could sink new threads. As that kind of behaviour now is more-or-less confined to non-interacting support/troll accounts, it's much rarer of a problem. Unlike Reddit when a lot of threads can quickly get downvote buried instantly for seemingly no reason.

I get the impression that "Kings" (2009) would've been more successful on a streamer 5-10 years later.

I watched it after it came out, so my memory is better... but at least it wasn't a complicated series.

I thought this had been abandoned. Didn't realise it was even in production.

That's Kingdom, and All of us are Dead.

The reality is that if shambling zombies actually existed, like in TWD, they wouldn't be a civilisation ending threat. And the idea that there's enough of them after 10+ years like in TWD to be able to horde up is preposterous.

And when the zombies are fast and the infection process is quick

If you like Deutschland 83/86/89, then I would recommend A Besugo (The Informant). Literally the Hungarian version.

And Babylon Berlin.

I had to hunt that down hard myself.

Are you Quebecois? I watched the first season of Plan B 2017.

Well wouldn't most other post-apocalyptic settings without as third-party force such as extraterrestrials or zombies be always melodramatic?

It depends on the type of zombies depicted. The zombies in TWD are very straight-forward and there isn't much depth to them.

In other shows like Kingdom? A bit different.

Do you like post-apocalyptic settings generally that aren't zombie, out of interest?
