I don’t think the problem is the title… it’s expecting the whole world to wait while you catch up. Just don’t visit forums till you’ve watched the race…
This isn’t formulaoneforum.com. Lemmy, just like reddit before it, is a service that allows me to follow a massive variety of topics in the same place. This post could we’ll have been the first post that loaded when I opened the the page, openly spoiling the result before I have a chance to look away or hide it.
You think it’s reasonable that a person should need to avoid using this service entirely until they find time to watch a race just so you can have a post with the winners name clearly written?
What is gained for anyone by naming the post in such a manner?
I hear you but I also think if spoilers upset one so much one should avoid any risk of exposure. Lemmy is just one service on the World Wide Web. Risking being on the latter and not expecting spoilers from somewhere, not just Lemmy seems like a fools errand to me.
As for what is gained, if I see the current title I immediately know which thread to go into to discuss the race which I’m sure may be the case for many others as well so it helps keep the discourse together. A non descriptive title would definitely miss my eye. It could just be my adhd riddled brain which has led me to be militant about avoiding the Internet till I’ve watched the race but this is just my viewpoint.
How do you propose this is solved?
