Recently banned from communities i either haven't interacted with at all, or not for some time (since the shit went down with Stamets iirc).
Since the debacle that is AdmiralPatrick is just getting sad at this point, i choose to believe it was for saying "Stamets was right"
#BelieveStamets
Anything involving AdmiralPatrick is always PTB
I tried baiting a ban for a few hours, got bored and just deleted my account on st.ws
Fuck anyone who is complicit with shady, shitty practices, fuck the admin in particular.
I'm not even on ws. I'm serious when I say my last interactions were when that drama imploded like, a year ago? With stamets doing his callout post? Decided it was not a place for me and have been farting about on tenforward
tenforward is objectively better these days, anyway
Why the hell is it that this place is so overwhelmed with stupid, petty drama lately?
The tesserqct dev, i think some blahaj mods are fighting over a dead community, whatever the fuck this is now, piefed dev being a turd, holy shit is it annoying. I am so grateful that my instance seems to be entirely drama free.
a full 90% of that is just one dude. startrek.website is ol' paddy's stomping ground.
This is a continuation of the tesseract dev thing. Your four-item list is really more like maybe two, two and a half items if you combine the ones that are related.
Fair enough, i am not really invested in the deep lore so to say. Just seems that there is permanent bickering going on in some way or shape on my feed, which is entertaining, but also gets old fast.
that’s any kind of forum since forever tho. you can do your best to avoid it, but it’s always gonna be somewhere. people always do stupid shit and other people always call them out and laugh about it, this isn’t even an internet exclusive thing.
There's a cycle to it and you can usually identify it across the usage of a single term: "tankie". 3+ year pattern.
People obsessed with owning the tankies crash out and make fools of themselves, new people who hate tankies take up the banner to salvage the cause.
Tesseract dev = Poor attempt to own tankies, moment of unity across fediverse.
Now we will have a week or two of backlash. The 196 stuff seems to fit into that because the basis is 'tankie'. But that's community level stuff so whatever.
It was interesting to read for a day. But now...yawn...
What happened to Stamets?
nothing recently, I mentioned on a previous post about how Stamets was probably giggling into his ice cream about the whole tesseract debacle since he's been calling out shitty, overbearing mods since the word go.
It's OBVIOUSLY because you love The Orville more than Star Trek!
The Orville is more Star Trek than Star Trek is now. I like both though. :)
more? I was a fan of BOTH ds9 and B5 while they were still on air. I operate in paradigms you cannot even conceive

Edit: Almost forgot, PTB.
Neat! Me too!
I think we're gonna find anyone who was previously on his Super Sekrit Shitlist is gonna find themselves suddenly banned on anything AdmiralPatrick has a soupcon of power with.
How does that even work? Shouldn't he not even be seeing our content to begin with, at this point? 🤔
It's almost as if his censorship is rendered utterly pointless even for him because he can't resist paying attention to what everyone is saying about him anyway.
some llamas be addicted to the drama I guess
Like me you probably down voted too many posts without interacting with the community. Like a vote isn't an interaction.
No. The admin simply didn't like that people disagreed with his decision to defederate from dbzero and stsrted removing comments and ban users
Deeper than that, the dude just doesn't like people
Now he's even more right.
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
