It was branded well enough to make the connection even when the drivers WEREN'T PEELING OFF THE ROAD FOR MAX AND NOT EVEN USING DRS ahem, yes, certainly better than Racing Bulls, which is disgusting.
For 2025, however, and according to reports on Formula.hu, the team will revert to simply being known as Racing Bulls. This will reflect the company name it took on since transitioning from AlphaTauri.
Constructive criticism or meaningful suggestions should be welcomed imo, and when opinions differ reactions like yours are some of the best. I appreciate that you aren't hellbent on everyone fitting in the same box! Seriously, thank you for the civil interactions!
Footnote- I typed out a long-winded post about fediverse philosophy and decided this isn't the place for it. Maybe in another thread.
There's definitely merit in what you're saying but I'm also fine with it staying how it is.
The idea is that it should be easy to share what you have on, but we're all using different services. IMO the easiest thing is using Lemmy's title filling feature which is the song name by default with Spotify links. I believe the other services like YouTube and tidal work similarly.
Many of the posts in that community are made by members while they are working, which also makes me hesitant to enforce title rules on them. Quick and easy posts are easy to blast out when all you have is a second or two. Maybe in time as it becomes more than just a handful of people posting it should be revisited.
FWIW I'm ok with the communities I create never becoming popular on Lemmy. Most are created for a small group of friends to mess around on where other services don't fit the bill. I'd much rather have fun posting when the mood strikes than worry about fitting a particular posting guideline. If like-minded people happen to join in, awesome. If not, we were having fun before and we'll continue to have fun without them!
There's been a decent amount of activity at !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works and the music is always all over the place. Popular music, obscure music, non American music, pretty much everything depending on the day.
My advice would be to avoid the Vegas shit show experience and go to an event with feeder series races.
Watching events in person is nothing like watching them from home. There is a lot of downtime when F1 is the only series racing. If the venue is interesting (imo Vegas isn't) then you can wander around and explore a bit but in a place like Vegas it's going to be a lot of sitting around, and they've already shown they don't care about the fan experience.
I'm sure there's fun to be had at any F1 event but Vegas wouldn't be my first choice, or even on the list.
I have downvoting disabled anyway but it sucks that others are influenced by it.
I think there are a lot of people on Lemmy trying to turn public spaces into their private space, or shape communities into what they want instead of fostering a new one from the ground up.
It's dead simple to start an instance or even a community on an instance that aligns with how people feel. Somehow instead we've defaulted to projecting negativity, which inhibits growth. Lemmy can be better.
How motivating do you think it is to post to smaller communities just to get an unrepresentative number of downvoters right off the bat? I can't speak for OP but I'm sure there are plenty that don't post or reply at all because of it.
I think at its core downvoting can be fine but on smaller platforms it's easily abused as a form of content suppression, bullying, etc. Lemmy seems to be particularly prone to account hopping downvote spam, which sucks but it is what it is.
Thankfully Lemmy is flexible enough to create what you want more privately if one is so inclined. I'm smoking weed about it.
