  • I have been working through my “must watch” list with my teenage daughter recently. While all the movies are absolutely new to her, that hasn’t stopped the occasional snickering about how “old” some of the stuff is. (And honestly, I can’t disagree. I had a few “ah fuck I’m old” moments rewatching Predator and Blade Runner recently.)

    So, in spirit, I 100% agree with you. In reality, nobody can quite escape how old some movies actually feel.

    You should know that CO has some deeply defined red-blue “barriers”. What’s red is deep red and what’s blue is deep blue. Your area north of Boulder is not exactly what I would consider liberal friendly. Hell, even around Greeley can be red as hell… I know I have noticed the drumpf flags driving up there.

    It’s just the way Colorado is and you will eventually just need to migrate to an area that is more supportive of your beliefs in CO. It kinda sucks I say something like that, but this state has its weird quirks like that.

    Traditionally, Lemmy users don’t respond well to communities that attempt to completely mirror subreddits. I am not trying to “hate” on your efforts here as that is absolutely counterproductive. Maybe you can tweak your posts a bit?

    I am all for building niche communities, so don’t misunderstand me. When it comes to creator/influencer content, the road is going to be a bit rocky unless you can get the content creators themselves to back these places.

    The biggest issues I have seen is that many Lemmy users hate Reddit and are just more likely to block mirror communities. Constructively, I would say “read the room”: Lemmy isn’t Reddit and we typically don’t care what /u/whoever says
