it’s just a sign that the people who did it have no idea what they are doing.

We’re in no shortage of those signs

I can’t even imagine translating something like “chat, am I cooked?” to my grandma.

“Hey folks, am I in trouble?”

As someone brand new to Lemmy I’m now learning a lot of horrible new info on myself based on arbitrarily signing up for a random instance.

I didn’t realize I was supposed to psychically know about lemmy lore before ever using it.

There really isn’t any. It’s just a huge nitpick.

• is commonly used for multiplication, especially in online contexts in order to avoid confusing multiplication with the letter x when wider symbols aren’t available.

I dont know what to say, its my opinion. I don’t think anyone was reading my comment as a statement of fact. I’m just a random person online, no ones treating me as an objective authority.

Other users have different opinions and are free to up and downvote my comment or post a different take and those can be upvoted.

If you disagree with / are interested in having me elaborate on my reasons for feeling like the show is losing itself I worry that might get into spoilers territory though I’m not in principle against that conversation in the right context.

Maybe just leave a comment saying “I don’t think it’s losing itself, it’s been consistently good this season” or something like that and let the upvotes do their thing?

But you started basically from a place of “you’re not the creator so you aren’t allowed to say that” and I cant really respond to that beyond pointing out I am allowed an opinion on it and that’s not a really productive way to open a discussion.

What a bizarre reply…

Did you create the show and the lore?

No.

Then how can you say that it’s “losing itself”?

I am able to form opinions on the show because I have watched it.

I’m pretty sure Ben Stiller, and the rest, knew where the show was going to go in Season 2 from the start.

Oh, yeah no I’m not quoting Ben Stiller good catch, this is my own opinion I formed by watching the show.

Just because it’s going in a different direction than you thought, doesn’t mean it’s “losing itself.”

Agreed. It’s losing itself for other reasons.

Does that help?

Its losing itself a bit but still quite good.
