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.

This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other's content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.

Defederation is the nuclear option. Until now we had removed any communities we weren't comfortable hosting, and treated users on a case-by-case basis based on how they behaved in our communities, which worked for a while but became untenable.

When we started this project the admin team felt that welcoming outsiders into our (wholesome, sane) Star Trek communities was the net-positive action. But as I said it became too much to handle so we unfortunately had to cut the cord.

Oh thank goodness. I like this instance a lot but the hexbear spam was annoying.

Thank you, the comments were getting pretty rough the last couple days.

For anyone on a different server, you can always personally defederated from a server under Settings in the Block tab at the very bottom. I eventually ended up being defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml.

Yes, I strongly encourage people to curate their own experience.

too little too late, but they needed to be a little less locutus and a little more jean-luc.

+1 for using Bookstack.

We use that at work for some internal documentation. Love it.

@[email protected] Can I ask what they were propagandising about?

I've seen plenty of stuff over there saying if you're against Russia and their social engineering being used against the US, it's basically the same as being an antisemite.

The whole place is whackadoodle.

Theory divorced from historical context results in all kinds of cognitive dissonance, and that's what I see there for the most part.
