    Stop posting results in the title. This is one reason I left reddit.

            The problem is that with results in the tiles, I can have the race spoiled by simply browsing my subscription or all feeds. I understand why rule 3 exists, because you cannot expect a post blackout simply because someone might have the race result spoiled. That’s why the “Race Results” threads are great; the title doesn’t give anything away, and the content therein can spoil away.

            With results in the title, I have to avoid using Lemmy (as is the case with Reddit) overall. I want to subscribe to and participate in /c/formula1, but with results in the post titles my choice is to unsubscribe and block.

              I have resorted to staying off social media completely on any race weekend I can’t watch live. Sucks that it has to be that way but that’s the way it has to be, I guess.

              I don’t really understand who these posts are for, but I guess enough of an argument can be made that there are people out there who don’t watch races but still want to know who wins that might appreciate them. I don’t know. Enough of a reason for the mods to allow them at least.

              Sucks, but it is what it is.

                Sure, and an earlier post from the same user titled “2026 Miami Grand Prix race result and championship points” is perfect. I don’t expect a news blackout, I only expect spoiler-free post titles.

                  I agree. The mods evidently don’t. Maybe the type of person who don’t watch races but still wants to know who wins only wants to skim the title and not actually open the post and therefore appreciates this exact format? Maybe that’s the angle?

          Mind your own business. I didn’t break any rules. Don’t browse here if you don’t want to get spoiled.

            A plain text reading of the rules says you broke rule 2. We’d already received a race result post.

            1. No duplicate news.Please check the feed before posting. Multiple posts from different news companies reporting the exact same thing will be removed to keep the feed clean.

            In fact, your earlier post is perfect. Title doesn’t spoil the result, the article content and discussion is free to spoil.

              Maybe but you didn’t even care to ask like a normal person. You made a demand which I choose not to follow. Rule#3 is clear.

              You have a measly 4 post submissions over 3 years. It’s not like you’re an active contributor. And yet you act as if you have any standing to make demands. No.

                Why are we using people’s profiles and post counts to judge their value as a person? Should this not be a friendly and welcoming community? Where is all this hostility coming from? Genuinely asking.

                  Neither *@lemmy.ca user was friendly and welcoming to me.

                Did I hurt your feelings? I made a statement but was not rude. Would you have had a different response had I asked “pretty please?”

                  Too late to find out. Leclerc spinning on the last lap was very gripping.
