Thanks
kellyaster 71 points 3 years ago
A few of us did leave comments and posts behind telling people where to go, but they quickly got deleted by the mod. Sorry, we tried. Glad you managed to find us!

While I enjoy the content, I subscribe to neither. Rest assured that anyone who has browsed Hot or Top 24h would sooner or later be made aware of the existence of TenForward. The spam quality content here tend to bubble up to the top. 🖖
possiblylinux127 5 points 3 years ago
I didn't think to do that.....
DarkSirrush 8 points 3 years ago
No joke, I browse top 12h and the first day of the switch was already a huge difference, and now I basically don't see Risa anymore.
GuyFleegman 32 points 3 years ago
Heh, of course he did. It takes a real big brain to kill a community where the only rule is “there are no rules.” A big, smooth brain.
kellyaster 12 points 3 years ago
Hey, you're the creator of the original r/risa back on Reddit! Yeah, it's crazy how quickly the burrito truck tanked it...the exodus practically happened overnight! I found out about Ten Forward not 48 hours after Stamets created it, and by then 95% of the posters had already moved away from Risa. I'm sorry they killed your creation, it's a real shame it had to happen over such stupid reasons.
GuyFleegman 13 points 3 years ago
I sure am, and thanks!
Yeah, I am genuinely sad they killed it... but not all that surprised. I cut ties with that instance precisely because their moderation style is so opaque and capricious. It's great to see the spirit of the place live on here.
possiblylinux127 3 points 3 years ago
Maybe next time divide the power of the instance between people. From there you could create some policies to handle issues.
It seems like drama in community infrastructure is common. Its best to think ahead.
Sorry about your instance though. I take it you didn't buy the domain.
possiblylinux127 18 points 3 years ago
The removed my posts asking people to post more because of "drama"
I didn't even know there was "drama" until recently. I like the idea of startrek[.]website but I don't like the way its being run. They should do a voluntary shift change.
samus12345 10 points 3 years ago
startrek.website is a disgrace to the principles of its namesake.
GuyFleegman 7 points 3 years ago
The domain and name of the place was my idea, how do you think I feel :(
possiblylinux127 2 points 3 years ago
Who are you? Anyway I'm glad I could help.
hallettj 2 points 3 years ago
In one of those deleted posts you told me that my other instance (Beehaw) is especially aggressive about blocking instances, and you said that there had been some disagreement with a mod that I'd have to research myself.
verity_kindle 12 points 3 years ago
This is the gritty yellow-brown paste I needed. Savory.
ramble81 39 points 3 years ago
I noticed it switched when all the good Star Trek memes in my “all” feed switched from Risa to TenForward. Didn’t even know there was drama over on the other board until I saw the post. That’s one of the nice things about the fediverse, don’t like it, switch somewhere else and if the votes follow, everyone will see it.
Dudewitbow 19 points 3 years ago
I mean a good chunk of people left an entire site for various misgivings, if any mod has a power trip, the group of people willing to leave an entire site is likely also willing to switch a community if someones on a trip.
roscoe 38 points 3 years ago
Am I being deprived of Stamets' memes because of some thin-skinned power-tripping douche mod?
Time for a new instance. Any recommendations for a stable instance that federates with everyone (except for the worst, of course)?
Edit: If anyone is confused, I meant to reply to this comment that links to Stamets' recent rundown on the whole kerfuffle.
Edit 2: I just learned something I'd like to share with anyone else that needs to know. If a user (Stamets, for example) is banned on your instance (startrek.website, for example) even here, a community on lemmy.world, you can't see his posts. Not only that, but if he comments you can't see any replies to his comment. There are a lot of comments in this thread startrek.website users can't see.
If you don't want overzealous admins curating your experience on other instances, you might want to find a new instance.

I just jumped over to world because of all this. That makes my third instance in less than a year after leaving kbin.social for startrek land a few months ago. Lemmy is a little exhausting.
roscoe 16 points 3 years ago
But at least that's an option. There is no non-spez instance of reddit, non-musk instance of twitter, or non-zuck instance of meta-stuff to jump to.
I took both of the other respondents suggestions. It only took a few minutes to get approved at both and now I can see Car Talk With Martok again.
I didn't even know that the admin of my instance banning someone would prevent me from seeing posts made in another instance.
Chetzemoka 8 points 3 years ago
Same, I didn't know until I saw this comment
GuyFleegman 5 points 3 years ago
Hell yeah brother

Considering how much Paramount+ is charging- $11.99/mo for no ads- when they have a fraction of the content of, for example, Peacock, which costs the same... I don't blame anyone for pirating Star Trek shows at this point.
And, of course, on top of that, Star Trek is spread across multiple streaming services and you would have to subscribe to them all and spend a ton of money if you wanted to watch it all.
Most Star Trek is on Paramount+. But if you want to watch Prodigy? You need Netflix. Want to watch the TOS and TNG movies? You need Max. But hey, you can watch JJ "Trek" on Paramount+ instead of First Contact or Wrath of Khan. If you really want to.
possiblylinux127 -11 points 3 years ago
The admins and mods of that instance are 100% going to prison or getting heavily fined. Stay away or at least access it via Tor.
possiblylinux127 -7 points 3 years ago
Illegal activity (not you, the piracy instance)
kellyaster 8 points 3 years ago
If a user (Stamets, for example) is banned on your instance (startrek.website, for example) even here, a community on lemmy.world, you can’t see his posts. Not only that, but if he comments you can’t see any replies to his comment. There are a lot of comments in this thread startrek.website users can’t see.
Jeez, that is...wow. A shitty mod can really wreck content visibility on the 'verse if they're feeling particularly shitty.
FlyingSquid 7 points 3 years ago
Along with what Stamets already said, and I hope he doesn't mind if he speaks on his behalf, he will be rather occupied for the foreseeable future- at least in the short term- and will be posting fewer memes during that time. But eventually, he'll be back to his usual excellent post frequency and hopefully the rest of us mods can do what we can to fill the hole in his absence. And we'll sure miss him while he's busy!
Let me know if you want me to delete this, Stamets. I thought letting people know they won't see as much of you as usual for a while would be okay, so I hope you'll be okay with me revealing that without giving any personal details. Especially since we all love you and your posts and I don't want people thinking what OP is thinking and getting concerned.
(To clarify, nothing dire is happening with Stamets, he'll just be occupied with things other than Lemmy.)
FlyingSquid 3 points 3 years ago
Cool, I didn't want to say why you were going to be occupied just in case you didn't want that detail out. And if I didn't say this to you before, good luck with the move and we'll see you soon!
possiblylinux127 6 points 3 years ago
Any instance that is over a year old and medium sized should be fine.
My instance is Lemmy.zip but there are many more.
mr_robot2938 36 points 3 years ago
I just found out today and had been wondering why the community suddenly died. Hopefully Ten Forward had something green to drink.

Month and change. Check the logs a little over a week ago for a post by Stamets explaining the situation. Welcome aboard!
possiblylinux127 1 point 3 years ago
I personally don't care for the centralized nature of Lemmy.world so good bye unfortunately!
ummthatguy 40 points 3 years ago
Fair enough. Live long and prosper. We'll always have Kevin.
possiblylinux127 26 points 3 years ago
Ok, I changed my mind. Can I come back?

We can't. That's part of the reason I try really hard to avoid Lemmy.world
possiblylinux127 2 points 3 years ago
Yeah, we could've done much worse for admins. Lemmy.world is pretty good right now but I'm concerned about the centralization of power and the single point of failure. I would've preferred a medium sized instance but you can't win it all I suppose.
Maybe at some point the community can create a different community on a medium sized instance. I'm just concerned about potentially controversial decisions being made that have a huge impact on the community.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I think it’s been a month, maybe two?
You should read the post by Stamets about the move to get some more context about why the new community, if that interests you.
