  • This is Japan we're talking about. I believe they require multiple late-night "socializing" meetings to figure out exactly what's going to happen. Then they just have a series of meetings to formalize what they decided on beforehand.

  • !gothindustrial@lemmy.world just hit 600 subscribers over the weekend. A couple different people posting, which is nice. A modest number of comments and discussions, but it's a niche topic so not really surprising. I was made a mod for a while but renounced it, mostly bc I didn't want to take on the commitment. But it did make me consider that if only the mods are posting, newcomers might be reluctant to post. So it's good to have regular posters who are not mods.

    Funny thing, after I clicked to give up mod powers, they returned after I signed in again next time. I think the other mods hadn't yet realized I gave them up? Anyway, I wrote some goth song lyrics about the feeling of signing in and then seeing that I had been made a mod again:

    This dreaded label
    is haunting my name
    This dreaded label
    like a sigil arcane

    This tag! (it burns it burns it burns)
    Like a dagger to the eye!
    This tag! (it burns it burns it burns)
    It corrodes me inside!
    (unearthly shrieking)

    (minimalist guitar solo)

    lel that's a joke btw

  • I'd be tempted to argue that it hits what it was aiming for. It's meant to be a cheap raunchy Porky's rip-off, and it succeeds. I suspect Cruise does a good job in it - the year before he did Taps, and the year after he did All the Right Moves.

  • Losin' It is a 1982 comedy film directed by Curtis Hanson, and starring Tom Cruise, Shelley Long, Jackie Earle Haley and John Stockwell. The film follows four teenagers trying to lose their virginity. It was filmed largely in Calexico, California.

    ...

    The film received negative reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 18% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.3/10.[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 51 out of 100, based on 4 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.

    Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert criticized the film on their TV program At the Movies. Siskel called it "dreadful" and "predictable."

  • Well, I was saying you don't have to be a mod. If we look at examples beyond "alt" communities, !superbowl@lemmy.world 's main poster isn't a mod. Likewise, !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world 's most frequent poster isn't a mod either.

    It doesn't have to be hard work. Just pick a couple communities and start engaging at the level you're comfortable with.

  • I've noticed it goes in phases:

    • dormant community. maybe occasional posts.
    • one person posting regularly. maybe they're a mod, maybe not. some upvotes, occasional discussion.
    • 2-3 people posting regularly. others post occasionally. some upvotes, occasional discussion.
    • several regular posters, several others post occasionally. regularly upvoted posts, frequent discussions

    !gothindustrial@lemmy.world is currently in phase 3 but it was in phases 1 and 2 for a while. !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip is bouncing between phases 1 and 2. !thrashmetal@lemmy.world is in phase 3. Punk is interesting bc it has both !punk_rock@lemmy.ca and !punk@lemmy.world. Ideally they'd join forces on !punk_rock@lemmy.ca and then they'd be in phase 2 or 3. !metal@lemmy.world is pretty much at phase 4, tho it's sometimes lacking in discussions.

    Anyway, I recommend picking one of those communities and posting/discussing, you don't have to be a mod to help grow them.
