As there has been some interest in a live thread such as the ones on r/eurovision, here is the live thread for the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Sadly, I didn’t find any Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/. But as this community is still pretty small, I think refreshing the website once after each song should be okay.

    They have anti boo filters.

    But if there’s enough booing it gets through. That it did means there was a decent amount.

    Also apparently in the practice round there was a bunch of booing.

    Edit: apparently EBU also added fake cheering during Israel’s performance. So much for EBU being “non-political”. It’s one thing to remove disruptive sounds but another to artificially hype up a song.

        They made it to the final. Would’ve rather seen San Marino there. But maybe now Germany has a chance of not being last.

          While hoping for 0 points for Israel, I’m not sure anymore seeing Italy’s televoting.

            Holy crap, almost 40%, it wasn’t even good. I suppose they were pissed at San Marino for choosing a spanish group.

      That’s like something out of dystopian sci fi! Who would have thought that Eurovision would build the Torment Nexus? 😮‍💨🤬
