  • Captain Picard sings Make it So Let it Snow

  • Locked

    Thursday: AMA with Karim Diané!

    Jump

  • Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?

    Jump

  • Great points all around. "Hope and Kindness" may seem like obvious cliche lessons, but one could argue that in today's political climate they are as important as TOS calling out societal racism.

    I'm not complaining, but the trailers definitely oversold the level of drama in this show.

  • Is there a list of important/key episodes – but not just the good episodes?

    Jump

  • "Datalore" is another one that's important, but it's not very good. Most of the episode is Wesley running around trying to convince the grown-ups that Data is being weird and being ignored. It's the one where Picard tells him to "shut up".

  • Captain, masking is highly illogical

    Jump

  • And again in "The Menagerie"!

  • Captain, masking is highly illogical

    Jump

  • It says right in the meme "a lot of my masking is just making myself more palatable for other people"

  • Fediverse Challenge: Prove there's still good in the world

    Jump

  • More mods and admins on Fedi need to step up and take bolder action, imo. Whether intentional or not, a mods inaction will often set the tone for a given community more than their actions.

    Imagine the community you mod meets in person and someone is being obnoxious and disruptive. A new attendee is not going to speak up, they're going to look to you for guidance. If you allow unwelcoming behavior to persist, then attendees learn that being loud is how to get noticed, and if they don't want to be loud (as many of us don't) they'll just stop going.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" & 1x02 "Beta Test"

    Jump

  • I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.

    Same. A lot of that stuff just feels more comfortable with time and I appreciate how Star Trek always pushes it a little bit. People FREAKED OUT with the Klingon changes in TMP/TNG. Then FREAKED OUT that DS9 was on a space station with a "politically correct" captain. Now we think of those things as normal, nostalgic even.

  • I liked it too, but I find rebuilding to be aspirational. Like maybe the most aspirational thing possible.

  • What happens if one of the people in a mindmeld is sedated or unconscious?

    Jump

  • Even to save the persons life (as was portrayed in the episode)?

  • Look in your heart, you know it to be true (OC)

    Jump

  • This. The way I see it, if an admin can't (or won't) moderate their users, the problem can only get worse.

  • Look in your heart, you know it to be true (OC)

    Jump

  • Lemmy is just software that anyone can use. Each Lemmy instance with open sign ups has their own rules. But even so- there would be no way of knowing which Lemmy users are equivalent to any reddit user without the user itself making it known.

  • Reddit admin doesn't like that /r/CirclejerkSopranos is political and threatens their mods to remove the politics, or shut it down

    Jump

  • Yep. IMO, the experience of using social media was pretty good (far from perfect but pretty good) going into 2014, but 2014 set in motion what became 2015. When gamergate-style ""debate"" tactics took over well, everything.

    EDIT: And more importantly those tactics weren't banned by most subreddits

  • Look in your heart, you know it to be true (OC)

  • I did the same. Thank goodness for personal block lists.

    Jump

  • Oh yes, I believe it is the responsibility of instance admins, as I believe it is the responsibility of the Reddit admins too. And if Steve Huffman wants Reddit to be a pro gamergate right wing website he absolutely has that right. What I wanted to highlight is that Reddit has a long history of enforcing their policies selectively in ways that just-so-happen to allow right wing propagandists free access to everyone else's communities.

  • The_Donald encouraging violence against women? "We allow all ideas no matter how unpopular".

    The creator of KotakuInAction removes posts encouraging violence against women? That crosses a line!
