Anyone know of any good - maybe open source/federated - alternatives?
The problem is that any review aggregator is wide open to manipulation, you just rely on the integrity of the reviewers, which has shown to be lacking.
I'd like a Fediverse version of IMDb but that's another thing entirely.
Rotten tomatoes wasn’t paid. Their independent reviewers were. A federated version would be even more vulnerable to this kind of thing.
Maybe we should start posting our own movie review here on Lemmy and let lemmings comment and vote.
I use https://www.themoviedb.org/ quite often, it's pretty good.
For anyone that might care, I found this pretty neat IMDB front-end: https://libremdb.iket.me
