This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

Nobody Goes There Anymore, It’s Too Crowded

Given the option between hanging out with 3,000 Trekkies who are willing to plunge headfirst into a strange new ecosystem and 600,000 Trekkies who find making an account to be an onerous process, I'll take the former, thanks

The irony of being a Trekkie but fearing strange new worlds.

You'd think they'd all be excited to join this new federation

Cut 'em some slack, they're probably just big fans of that famous Trekkie catchphrase "diversity, who needs it? one combination is enough for me!"

I mean it's right there in the intro monologue: "to timidly stay where everyone has already been"

Limited diversity in limited combinations.

A little less Mariposan, a little more Bringloidi

Turns out they were really into Star Trek for the Ferengi.
