Late nights on the sci-fi channel back in the day were wild, you waited up til midnight and then had no idea what you’d get. I remember watching urotsukidoji before I was even 10, which definitely didn’t mess me up, no siree bob.

That’s interesting that lemmy doesn’t generate canonicals. I would have thought that the original instance something is posted on would set the canonical, and other instances can point back to that - it really seems like this sort of problem is exactly what canonicals are made for. Does anyone know if there’s a reason for not using them (other than dev time, which is 100% a good reason)?
