I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.

I'm torn on the whole no downvote button thing (I missed that when I signed up), but you can be still nice while having a discussion and disagreeing with people.

I would argue that the downvote button can lead to exactly what you are describing though, no disagreement or conflict.
Someone posts a unpopular opinion, a bunch of users downvote it to hell and poof!, no discussion or exchange of ideas. Just out of mind, out of sight.

Is Babylon 5 worth watching?

Reply in thread

Ok, so I don't like most anime I tried watching, but as you described it as not very anime, I looked it up and it seemed kinda neat. I borrowed the first season from the internet and just watched the first two episodes.

So far it's really good, thanks a bunch for the rec! I would never have found this show and given it a chance on my own.

Also when I looked it up I saw it described as hard science fiction. Never heard that term before. After some cursory research I think this might be the kind of sci-fi for me.

Another great reply! Thanks man!

This show does seem like my kinda deal. I don't think I will mind the effects. If being honest I kinda hoped there wouldn't be any space battles in it. Not to many I hope. I am really looking for more of a drama than a action show.
Is there any kind of "slice-of-life onboard the station" elements in it. The thing that stuck out to me in the snippet I read about the show was that it portrayed how individuals were affected by bigger events in the story.

I think I'll check out DS9 too. One thing I learned is when people describe movies and shows as "a little slow" I tend to like them.
