The context of this question also excludes TV series from the UK, Canada (unless from Quebec), Australia or New Zealand.

I don't think Black Books was cancelled as such, I just think Dylan Moran was done.

To be fair, I wouldn't call anything like that a cashgrab.

That stuff is expensive and risky.

I'm afraid I can see why that happened. It was very expensive and had insane user drop-off.

Then you're upset about the opposite of my question lol

You mean you want it to be cancelled?

Season 2 is a better season. The weaker plotlines aren't as weak at all, and the Empire genetic dynasty carries the day just as much.

Every small-to-medium sized community trying to build will have a handful of users like this. 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.

Made a huge difference.

And the unnatural and extremely sudden increase in mentions - over just the last week or so, it's gone from Piefed almost never being mentioned anywhere to it being mentioned in hundreds if not thousands of threads a day. That also makes me suspicious.

It was gaining momentum anyway, but the big reason was the collapse of lemm.ee - which held many medium-sized communities having to find a new home. A lot (not all) chose piefed.

Piefed isn't a centralised system itself. There isn't just one Piefed instance.

That's a strange comparison. I imagine someone who objects to the politics of the lemmy developers would also object to similar political expression said by anyone.

I think Lee's speech at Baltar's trial beats out that personally

is there a piefed promo based community?
