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

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.

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...

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.

more? I was a fan of BOTH ds9 and B5 while they were still on air. I operate in paradigms you cannot even conceive

The Orville is more Star Trek than Star Trek is now. I like both though. :)

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.

No. The admin simply didn't like that people disagreed with his decision to defederate from dbzero and stsrted removing comments and ban users
