By all means post “RACE RESULTS!” With the results in the comments.
I have just got home to watch the results. Checked ALL while having a coffee before settling down for the race. FECK! Some numpty posted Verstapen wins.
Race ruined for me. I’ll bet that I am not the only one.
PLEASE concider us unfortunate ones who can not watch live.
I completely agree. It’s awful to have the race ruined and spoiled just because you opened Lemmy witty thinking, and no, blocking/unblocking the community each weekend is a garbage tier non solution.
As someone who always watches the race delayed:
Please DO post spoilers in the titles. We need more F1 content and discussion on Lemmy, and the way to grow the community is to have highlights and other posts with descriptive titles.
Yes, writing “race results” instead of “Verstappen wins” won’t make a difference, but I want to see videos with titles like “Driver X spins out on lap 60”, or “Alpine double DNFs again”. Then we can all discuss the exciting/tragic/interesting parts of the race. If we don’t allow posts like that until days after the race this community won’t grow.
The onus is on me to avoid social media when I can’t watch the race live (which is 90% of the time).
My recommendation for you is what I did for years on Reddit. Unsubscribe before the race if you know you can’t watch on time, resubscribe once you’ve watched.
I 100% agree. The times where I need to watch a race late I need to avoid all social media.
At the very least, don’t post the names of the winners in the post title
I live on the west coast of the US. The race started at 6am local time. Given I’m usually not home until midnight on a Saturday night, there’s no way I’m watching it live. There are millions of us in the same boat.
I mean I often watch the race late. So I just avoid social media. Lemmy is already lacking interaction. I don’t think we should stifle it further…
Gonna be honest I’d you’re watching F1 this season it’s generally not to figure out who got P1…
De Vries DNS at Spa, sry for spoilerinos.
But on topic: I just learned to not hit social media until watching or unsubing the instance.
You can’t make all the other content that advents from the race spoiler-free (tweets, photos, videos etc), especially if some drama breaks out.
This is coming from someone who got spoiled yesterday of the pole sitter by a thread here as I was getting into the second half of the Q3 replay…
