Thoughts on posting spoilers?

Due to time zones I almost never watch F1 live, but I just avoid places where the results may be discussed.

If we don't allow people to to discuss what happens in the race this space will die. Even banning spoilers from titles would be pretty bad, it would just lead to posts with useless titles like "Verstappen does thing in race"

Maybe for some companies. For others the main draw card is push notifications and a big shiny icon for the product on your phone. Also, just FOMO when every other company has an app.

PLEASE - No result spoilers

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).

That's why you set limits and have laws/zoning that allow some things and not others. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
