Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I find this very cool.

The piece makes a very good case for publicly funded media sources to be present and host their own instances. I found the advantage of being able to verify themselves by hosting on their own bbc site interesting, as well as the discussion of the need for moderation of replies.

This was also posted on lemmy.ca with the comment that CBC should do the same. I could also see the big provincial media TVO (TV Ontario) and BC’s Knowledge Network doing the same, especially as they also provide educational broadcasting.

CBC should absolutely give it a shot, in my opinion.

Mr governments should follow the recent Dutch example and set up their own server, as well.
