Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Boardgames Magazine on the Fediverse!
I'm a Reddit refugee and wanted to start fresh after many issues with the OG /r/boardgames, namely the low effort posts, news and OC being buried by recommendation threads, and overall issues with the same questions being asked over and over.
I'd love for this to become a more community oriented subreddit instead of a karma mining machine with pictures of boxes. I'd love to hear people's ideas on how we can make this meaningful for those out there who just want to discuss and talk about their love for board games.
This. It isn't just that the content is/isn't available. It's that content that is available might be a weird format (see the Seinfeld aspect ratio debacle), or has outright been modified. For instance, I can watch old episodes of Clone High on Paramount Plus, but all the licensed music from that time has been stripped out in favor of generic fluff. It's grating and it's not in line with the original vision.
An all-streaming future where anything can be changed at any time, or shows can completely disappear into the abyss because they're streaming-only with no physicality is depressing.
