Does anyone think it would be a good idea to have a rule to prevent race spoilers on this community till 24hrs after a race?

Given the nature of races being in a different part of the world every time, time zones vary greatly and it’s not always possible to watch a race “live”.

Personality I would like to stay subbed to this community, so I can get f1 news and posts when I browse Lemmy. But if it isn’t possible to make a rule like that and I’m likely to get a spoiler I would have to either stop using Lemmy for 24hrs (oh the horror) or unsub from this community.

Just a thought.

    I think this kind of rule would be a bad idea and result in this rare niche community that is actually active to die.

    I’ve always felt these kinds of requests and rules are weird because it’s to make up for someone’s lack of self control to not watch social media. If your schedule or timezone is as such you can’t watch it live, it would be weird that you can waste time on social media before you have time to watch the race or a summary.

    You really need to put in effort to get spoiled by results here. You’re not getting notifications from here like with news app.
