Activitypub accounts are portable actually. Lemmy is not as slick as Mastodon with this feature yet but will likely get there.

Eh, if an instance allows trolls, then that instance typically gets defederated from very quickly (at least it does on my instance). The only reason it is an issue now is that two of the big three instances (.world and .ml) have very lax moderation standards. If the lemmy-verse grows to the size of Reddit, then two lax instances won't be as big of an issue.

Lemmy's design is fundamentally excellent to deal with bad actors, the whole point of ActivityPub/Federation is that moderation is much more effective while also preserving free speech. I'm not sure what that person on about.

I think Lemmy should be huge. Think about how many subreddits exist for every niche. It would be great if those places could exist free of corporate influence.

Federated platforms are significantly more effective than centralized ones at mitigating the influence of bad actors.

The replicators work very well, thank you.

Please make a review 😅

A much hyped fanfilm from the post Enterprise/pre-Disco days where fan films were all we had to keep us going. "Renegades" had a good amount of hype around it because it had a real budget and the cast they managed to get. Unfortunately money can't buy taste and the actual script is pretty bad.

Oh COME ON now I have to buy these too??

I hope we get a de-aged Shatner appearance (I don't actually hope that... I think)

It really feels like they watched Star Trek Renegades and were like "YES".

I echo what you said elsewhere, if I get a goofy action movie (or better) then I won't be disappointed and it will be nice to see the Discovery-era one last time.

Nothing to add except I love this discussion prompt

"Sure, The Borg have been a bit of a problem. Their tendency toward mass assimilation and the stripping of individuality and personal freedom doesn’t exactly jibe with our idea of what makes a great leader. But let’s be honest. Kathryn Janeway hasn’t been perfect."

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.
