Time to create a GreatestGen/Trek community!

[-] Greezy@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

r/greatestgen is still up and there's a thread from 4 days ago from the FoD Mastodon admin about setting up an FoD Lemmy. I pointed that OP here but it wouldn't be official Uxbridge-Shimoda social media unless its the Card Daddy as admin.

Oh man, we definitely need a Greatest Trek instance. Maybe a mod of speshial conshennce can make one for B&A to drop into.

Welcome to the fediverse!

[-] refugee@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago

Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.

[-] TheCookieButter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I would rather see a permanent freeze instead of private. Yes it helps Reddit slightly more than private subs, but there is years of discussion that could be kept while still making it obsolete and limiting reddit's income/users from it.

[-] Lockely@pawb.social 5 points 2 years ago

I prefer they stay private for now to direct users, and then once July 1 happens, they can re-open as restricted for a limited time.

Are there any browsable backups/archives of Daystrom? There's a vast amount of content there which I'd hate to see lost.

Absolutely made up about this. Star Trek and the related subs were the only ones I used by the end of me being on Reddit.

[-] whateveeeer@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

If any of the mods of those subreddits are here, can you reconsider permanently locking?

The communities on those subs took years to develop, and you're going to lose a lot of quality posts and discussion, since most people won't just move seamlessly to a new website. Beyond that, there are years of high quality posts that members of that community have made, which may not be utterly lost, but they will certainly be more inaccessible.

I'm pissed at the Reddit admins too, but I don't enjoy being forced onto some new site.

I'm writing with the context of the Twitter takeover by Elon Musk. I tried migrating to Mastodon (which seems analogous to Reddit/Lemmy). While I enjoyed not being on a site dominated by a person who, in addition to similar API price hikes, is racist and transphobic, many of the communities I value on Twitter never migrated. The result was that Mastodon was never an adequate replacement for the Twitter networks I was in. While I appreciate not giving money to a person I hate, I'm not eager to repeat that experience, especially because it seems like Reddit's breaches are more of a pure business decision, which I find somewhat palatable, even if I'm unhappy to be forced off the apps I previously used.

I definitely am not opposed to the existence of this website, and in time I imagine it may develop its own unique community that some people value more than Reddit. However, I enjoy having the option of both sites available.
