I'm replying to a mastodon post, from a separate lemmy instance federated with startrek.website.

I'm living in the future.

    Man I just love the content that is growing every day in these new forums ... nice work guys ... subscribed and will come back again and again.

    I feel like we've rebelled against old alliances and we are restarting again in some far off outpost with minimal supplies but plenty of hope and enthusiasm.

    I've cut my ties and I'm staying on this outpost with you all.

    They should have named it startrek.federation

    What's more Star Trek than joining the federation?

    Incredible work, I'm so proud of this community! Makes sense that Star Trek fans would see the value of the federationverse

    @Stoat @startrek oh heck yeah I'm in.

    Did anybody save a copy of Algernon_Asimov's guides or any of the rest of the DI wiki?

    I love seeing all these subs I used to watch poopi6ng up here one by one.

    Do you Federation enthusiasts know that Lemmy developers are using Star Trek names for their testing instances?

    What news to warm my heart! Very principled to lock the subs over in crazy town even though it's difficult. I won't be going back, and the fed(erat)i(on)verse is the perfect place for Star Trek anyway!

    THIS is the kind of action I was hopeful for. I haven't had a reddit account in nearly two years out of principle, and it feels great to be able to geek out/interact with other star trek nerds online.

    I was fumbling around Lemmy instances looking for a “home base”, frustrated when I couldn’t find anything I liked. Then I found this one posted on the Lemmy subreddit and was immediately excited!

    Hit it!

    Where my friends of DeSoto at?

    Next on this old starship, we building a forum.

    Also, where did the name friends of DeSoto come from? I've listened for years and feel like a missed a random reference.

    It's from the early days of Greatest Gen, and references Captain DeSoto of the USS Hood (NCC-1703). DeSoto and the Hood made several appearances in TNG, and Ben and Adam leaned into his chill vibes, theorizing that the Hood would be a great place to work.

    It's also an allusion to the phrase Friend of Dorothy, an older euphemism for LGBT people.

    I think it was originally jokingly conceived as a sort of passphrase or shibboleth for fans of the pod to identify each other without revealing their embarrassing enthusiasm to outsiders, e.g.

    Q: "Are you a friend of DeSoto?"

    A: "Best boss I ever had!"

    will this community also censure people whom talk about the remote possibility that the new star trek series might not be very good

    There's literally a post in their front page about criticism with Disco S4 that's incredibly constructive.

    The issue was never about criticism. The issue was lazy, nonconstructive criticism.

    THANK YOU. Can't stress this enough for the persecution fetish crowd: You are not being silenced because you don't like new Star Trek. You are being silenced because you're acting like a twat.

    Keep in mind that posts removed by moderators are visible and documented on this and every federated instance of Lemmy. Please urge your fellow mods to be more professional going forward and improve their de-escalation skills. There is certainly unfair criticism, but some of that criticism has been well earned.

    I'm sure that moderation is a difficult and mostly thankless (and probably pay-less) job, but there's still a point at which being toxic undoes the positive contributions of a moderator. Please try to use this as an opportunity to build a better community and consider some self improvement as well.

    There is no one among us that couldn't benefit from personal reflection.

    If you treat people with hostility they will likely react in kind.

    These sentiments are engrained in Trek (new and old), it would be wonderful if we could consider those lessons in our daily lives.

    Clearly I'm living on another instance, but I'm wondering is startrek.website community creation is locked or not? Feels like all the different Trek sub-communities should be hosted here. Show specific ones like Lower Decks, things like Star Trek Online, etc. but so far it seems like its just the big 3.

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

    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.
