It just crossed my mind that some people may not know it. It’s a great resource (imho). Other platforms have fake reviews or ratings because of rea$ons ;) this one, so far, seems exempt of such biases (thankfully!)

    Well as someone who was there on IMDB forums way back … I had no idea … thanks!

    Given the vexed ownership situation anything like this (or rotten tomatoes or similar) is vulnerable to … a fediverse version makes more and more sense as time goes by! 🤔

      Well as someone who was there on IMDB forums way back …

      Good times.

      I did size up a few alternatives and have been using Trakt for the tracker that integrates with Kodi but I haven’t imported my lists (someone else has brought over quite a few) as I’ve been burned before. It does seem to still be in the hands of the founders but it does feel like a site is only one big offer away from enshittification.

      It does, perhaps one day…
