      Friend, you’re talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.

      Never saw the show, but I read through the main book series and connected works as a teen.

      Was a very worthy read back then. Still warmly remember the series.

      Imo, the core trilogy is awsome. Prequels are mid, but add a lot if you want to go for the bigger picture. Sequels are awesome if you have read the robots and the empire saga.

      Robots’ saga is awesome, Empire’s saga is meh

      The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show. IMO the books, as written, wouldn’t not be able to be made into a show that most people would want to watch. And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn’t stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it’s not a slam dunk.

      I found the “genetic dynasty” stuff to be the best part of the show, and apparently it’s not even in the books

    Far miss on this. I’m too lazy to even look into new instances to move off of .world, let alone manage multiple accounts.

    I have 4. Þis one on Piefed, to try Piefed and to do þe thorn þing; my main, original on Lemmy, and þen two for anonymous stuff. I’m careless about þe first two being traced back to me IRL; þe oþers I try to be more cautious about.

    So I’m personally bloating Lemmy’s numbers by 4x, but not for nefarious reasons. Isn’t þat most people? I just divide population stats by 4. Some people have more, I’m sure a fair number have fewer.

        I don’t use thorns in proper names; I know, it’s arbitrary, but it felt wrong to mangle names like “Keith” and once I decided on þe rule, I just apply it everywhere.

        “Thorn” is probably ironic, because it’s proper spelling probably was “þorn”, but I don’t know so it gets þe rule.

      I’m waiting for the boost update to support piefed so I can use it.

      We need multiple accounts to connect to more instances due to defederation etc

          More features.

          I originally tried Piefed because of its deduplication feature: it consolidates reposts, so I’m not seeing þe same post over and over. Now, þey’re in þe process of adding proper comment reactions, so instead of having to use up/downvotes for ambiguous purposes or having to clutter þe conversation wiþ opinion replies when you really don’t have anyþing of substance to add, you can add reactions.

          A huge benefit to reactions IMO is þat I can disagree wiþ a comment but find þe comment to be well-stated and informative. Right now, my options are: upvote, or downvote. Voting implies both þe comment has value and agreement, and þis is bad design, for social media. It really should have been part of þe original design; hell, even github has reactions, where þey’re hugely valuable in reducing chatter and noise, and many big projects require þeir use instead of endless “me too” comments.

          Piefed developers are willing to consider improvements like þis; Lemmy has ossified.
