It's mostly Netflix that dumps it all at once.

HBO, Apple TV and Prime still usually do staggered releases.

What? There's tons of TV shows, many high budget, released in the last year

So you mostly like episodic formats.

Do you actually like serialised content? Most TV is now serialised, as opposed to being episodic like X-Files.

got is like a bad off brand xenia warrior princess…

It has nothing in common with Xena other than being in the fantasy genre.

You may not like GOT, but that doesn't make it awful.

Federation has its downsides though, there's less cohesion across the board. A lemmy/kbin platform may have 20,000 users (an example) but most of them might end up with interacting on instances outside of the one they signed up on. Whereas everyone on Discuit, for instance, will be only interacting on Discuit. There's something to be said for how a userbase is spread, not just the amount of users. If Kbin wasn't federated and its own thing, its user trajectory and interaction could've been different - although having only recently arrived, I understand that features had stalled for a long time.

I think the long-term trend of federation is smaller instances simply shutting down due to lack of interest/money in maintaining it without any noticeable growth and a small bloc of highly used instances dominating, one main one, and probably some politically charged ones orbiting it. Yes, anyone if they're annoyed with a particular instance can just down their tools and migrate to another instance - but if you've got or run communities on that instance, it is a downside.

Although in Discuits case, yes, it is really, really basic - and that more than anything likely stopped it growing before anything else. There was also administrative problems and other issues that drained users. It hypothetically federating wouldn't help it at all. Their users would just stop using Discuit and use the larger communities all across Lemmy.

Third, Christian nationalism is, again, not relevant to these people. They do not see it as real nor do they see it as a real problem. They may engage with this discussion. So I don’t see a need to reword this one.

The literal current Republican speaker of the House stated outright that the USA is "depraved" and key parts of his reasoning for this was the prominence of LGBT people in modern culture and declining church attendance and religious observation.

I fully agree that your average random Republican doesn't necessarily hate LGBT people, or non-theists but they're simply not paying attention to the outrageous crap many elected representatives are saying.

Unfortunately, many Republican elected representatives are, to varying degrees, anti-LGBT and do support Christian encroachment into non-religious people's lives.

I'm doing it to drive traffic to communities I run (and the platform in a more general sense). I'm not a bot, I don't care about personal upvotes or boosts. Small reddit-like sites need content.

I said steam storefront, so I don't mean specifically asking for a subscription service. I mean if I want to watch a TV show now, I have to subscribe to a service. There's no option to buy it digitally in most cases.

True, but this is also because there's no Steam Storefront option for people who like to watch TV.

Was it ever that weird? I feel Superhero fiction has always been for teenagers and kids primarily. What separates it that much from Tokusatsu, barring MA-twists where characters aren't really superheroes?
