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 it would be counterintuitive to cater to a small percentage of people who 1) didn’t see it live and 2) are bothered by knowing the results early.

    I think it would be more beneficial for users to take matters into their own hands.

    For example, you can create another account and block the Formula 1 and Formuladank communities so you can browse without the risk of getting spoiled by a post going by your feed.

    Then when you’ve seen it, switch back to your main.
