You know one Christmas I would like the family to just quietly enjoy a good Christian Star Trek meme without someone mentioning Doctor Who!

Ok sorry, where I'm from saying you are "truly tired" of something implies you think it's bad.

Actual Budget is software. It can be run on a home server if desired.

"Smaller more personal stakes" doesn't mean something will be good, either!

Yeah I learned this playing Kerbal! It actually requires more energy to send something into the Sun than out of the solar system entirely.

Excuse me, were you talking to me?

How Lemmy public modlog allows to call out toxic and troll users, and should we have a community about this? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That user was literally banned from StarTrek.website instance for harassment of it's users, this is a textbook example of the problem with "call out" communities you are advocating for. They are more about creating drama than any kind of fact finding, let alone justice.

Calling out mods for what? Not allowing your brand of freeze peach? Personally I think Lemmy needs more strong moderators because right now most instance's "all" feeds are just another stale parade of "memes". There is a lot of junk filler, and very few unique communities that make the Lemmyverse something that stands apart from Reddit.

I would also encourage instance admins to de-federate instances that host your idea of a "community" purpose built to publicly "call out" users. It's toxic.

This makes me glad that at least he was cast as a central character in a LD episode.

I quit as the top mod of /r/StarTrek in 2021 in protest against Reddit's platforming of vaccine disinformation subreddits. Then in 2023 during the API protest, myself and several of the remaining mods (including mods from /r/Risa and /r/DaystromInstitute) started StarTrek.website.

The consensus I've seen on Lemmy has been largely "we don't need to spread the word about our open platforms because Reddit will do something stupid again and there will be another protest and Lemmy will be promoted there". So I hope we can take this as a lesson that we can't rely on platforms being shitty in order to switch society over to open standards. We need to do our best to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed good as well as known.
