But what about very very old spoilers? Soylent Green is people! Yeah, on second thought not even those. I imagine there's a huge number of people who have never seen that movie. Though I doubt many will anytime soon.
But for recent shows, agreed. No spoilers for at least a few weeks/months.
Oh yes please. Effing hate that. Good Omens S2 was totally spoiled for me, to the point where I couldn’t enjoy it as much. Not everyone can watch something as soon as it drops. Discuss these things privately, please.
Like I am seeing a lot of stuff I like from pixel/digimon/pro artist and young artist. Rather than a complete argument over a t.v show I never heard of.
I sometimes do reviews but I don't talk about the plot or the ending. I just say whether I like it or not and why. Usually it's about the acting and whether it's good or not and whether it's funnier or not and whether it's romantic enough.
It's so weird that there's not even a spoiler warning filter. Bluesky has the infrastructure for it, it would just be a toggle similar to the toggles for adult content and gore and whatnot.
Well, being able to tailor one’s own experience on here without an algorithm certainly goes a long way, so if there are offenders, it shouldn’t be hard to remedy that one way or another.
I'll try my best. I had to curate gifs in talking about a gacha game I stopped playing, and I got frustrated by casual spoiler reveals in the gifs I find.
I'll leave context in the alt text; but spoiler reveal hounds feel rather abrasive. Like you can have a diary, but it's a public diary, capisce?
I think we should all agree to in fact write the tag spoiler when post spoilers as good manners and common sense, cuz I'm sick and tired to see spoilers because of a picture or meme
Aaa it looks really good! It's by Robert Eggers and it's got a great cast (they're refusing to show Skarsgard who plays Nosferatu which is great marketing, but also Wilelm Defoe is in it 🤩)
Eggers has said its his dream film to make so I'm super excited, I love his works!
So they're making a Nosferatu movie with Willem Dafoe, who looks like Nosferatu, but is not playing Nosferatu,a handsome actor is playing Nosferatu? I'm going to call this avant garde and keep an open mind despite the overwhelming irony involved.
I hated that official show accounts did this. I mean it was on me because I followed them but I am incredibly slow at consuming television these days and damn it I’m not watching The Penguin on their schedule! lol
It helps the spoiler shields actually work here, or at least if it works for seeing my friends' butts, it must work for other stuff I haven't tried yet.
On the other hand, there needs to be a free space to even discuss about the movie/tv show while not giving anything away on the main TL (plus I really wanna talk about The Penguin on here with y’all)
I do wanna stress that "gratuitously spoil" and "have a discussion" are separate ideas, imho. There are ways to discuss media without actively spamming big spoilers.
I think a big issue is that twitter lacks spoiler text (ala discord black bars). I really hope bluesky implements them, because people reaaally just cannot help themselves and wait a couple weeks at least..
Omg the drag race franchise spoilers were always the worst on Twitter! East coasters would live tweet “Sparkleleesa won?!” The second it aired with no tags or warnings
I mean I honestly wish folks who don't want to be spoiled either don't use social media or learn to filter it out until they do watch the media. I never care for spoilers so will actively look for such when I care about a show
But I wanna watch the British Bake Off tonight knowing who went home while pretending I don't know so can look all smart and stuff to my wife, and most importantly, The Cat who has opinions.
When Force awaken came out , I plan to see it with my family closer to Christmas
So I put up a sign outside my office
“ If you spoil the Star War Film”
“ I will force you to watch the Holiday special and both Ewok movies “
My boss called that cruel and inhuman behavior
It's not going to change. Trust me. Once WICKED and Gladiator 2 hit, the spoilers will be minimal to medium. I even saw a post that spoiled the end of the film 'Anora'.
I've been watching DB Daima on Netflix cuz it's what I have, and despite being a whole week behind, ever since I left the other place I have not been spoiled at all over here.
Well if asshats do set up shop and make leaking spoilers as their whole pathetic personality, bsky does have effective tools to banish them to the shadowrealm then and forever.

What we need to do is shame people for doing that and not give them any kudos for doing it. Like an A**hole Award or something.
How about replies that are NOTHING ~BUT~
FIRST!
This isn't some teasure hunt/points thing.
🤣
I find something and share my opinions. I have a lot of opinions ~BUT~ there is that pesky character limit.
Could that be why so many people's characters SUCK?
hmmm - thoughts to ponder, I miss debates
If you want to avoid spoilers, just add the new film or show to the list of blocked phrases.
This labeler can at least hide posts that use #spoiler
But for recent shows, agreed. No spoilers for at least a few weeks/months.
Where we actually talk to people with similar interests and not being thrown into some pretty toxic space.
(i'm glaring VERY hard at the delicious in dungeon fandom)
i’m so tired of not being able to see a thing ON THE DAY OF ITS RELEASE and then knowing like 50% of what’s in it before i even get the chance
Maybe not?
Thank you.

That’s what I like to see!
His dad dies in the end.
I HATED that they put the Soldier Boy reveal on Instagram like a week after!! C’mon man 😑
Pikachu won’t evolve this episode
*reveals any and all details about the plot and a gif that shows a key scene in 5 seconds*
