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.

MODERATORS
It's remarkable that Lemmy (specifically /u/silence7@slrpnk.net ) spotted, mass upvoted and reported it before gaining any kind of critical mass on Reddit.
Reddit's new UI feels like it's designed to discourage surfacing that kind of discovery and content...
I've found that Lemmy is incredibly quick with anything news-related. I mostly use the All-feed and if there's any breaking news going on, it'll be on the first page. Sometimes I head over to reddit to compare and the articles posted there will only start to gain traction 1-2 hours later.
I remember that day, and no it never got better
I wonder what in the hell the suits see as 'the benefit' of never fixing it
The tech was becoming too good at empowering people. Too many regimes were falling too fast. Thankfully we're in control this time
We've effectively replaced reddit now. All that's left is for scale to give us all the niche community goodness we all want and reddit will just be a faint nostalgic memory
A while ago I modified one of my browsers searchplugins to add " -reddit" to all google searches, so I get better results. Can recommend.
Honestly asking- without Reddit what's left of Google besides AI generated SEO pages?

I like your optimism
