Having such a high profile film rating site be potentially owned by a film studio has serious conflict of interest issues. Same goes for amazon buying imdb and they've already used that to adjust scores for at least one film they released because of bad reviews. I'm happy to see this get some attention here after my submission didn't because the potential implications of this purchase are big.

Is there an ATproto or activity pub version of letterboxd? I like A24, but not sure how much I trust Sony or the NYT to run it reasonably

Amazing. So Imdb 2.0 has become Imdb 2.0.

so glad I move over to TMDB the other day. Letterboxd layout is the worst.

I use https://movielens.org/ and it is ran by the University of Minnesota.

Truly, everything good gets milked dry for someone's exit. I know that's usually celebrated in a forum like this, but is it possible things are just a bit out of balance?

Can't wait for the enshittification of Letterboxd.

Dear God, don't let Amazon do what it did to Goodreads here.
