Hey there! You may recognize me as a mod over on [email protected], a Star Trek-themed meme and shitposty community. We love having our fun and hanging out but we’re also not averse to some serious discussions or news as well! While it is always allowed in TenForward, we realize that there might be a better place for it.
Recently, a group of us had a chat. The mods of TenForward as well as @GuyFleegman, original creator of /r/Risa and /c/Risa, and @Tenthrow, mod extraordinaire and the owner of [email protected]. We all had different (and some same) reasons for wanting to start a fresh Trek community that was a bit more serious that what we currently had access to. So after some work (and this late posting by me), we have reopened [email protected]!
As mentioned, we hope to make the place more inviting and welcoming for Star Trek based news as well as Trek themed discussions and debates. We also plan on posting regular discussion ideas as mods and highly encourage everyone to participate and to post your own questions too! Nothing gets a Trekkies warp core revving like a good bit of theory crafting.
Beam on over and check things out! Shields are currently down and no nebulae in range so don’t worry about interference. Just pop on over and join in on the fun!
I hate seeing everything concentrated on just lemmy.world. The startrek.website admins need to fix their shit so we have instance variety again.
Yeeeah, I am not sure they are going to change anything. They’d have to handover that whole instance to new people to fix that. Not gonna happen. And that’s sad, its such a killer instance name, and Star Trek being basically the “federation” which is so crucial for Lemmy.
Yep. Will never happen. It would require @Corgana, owner of Startrek.website, to stop letting @ValueSubtracted walk all over him. Corgana either simply doesn’t care, has gotten too deep and doesn’t want to deal with the fallout with Value, or simply has no spine. Everything could be changed but it revolves entirely around the behavior of Corgana and the decisions he will make. From everything that I’ve seen, he’s a really good person who has a really good head on his shoulders. I don’t know why he’s decided to throw his chips in with a manipulative narcissist like ValueSubtracted.
Value has no power and, hilariously, zero value of his own. He does not contribute to the running of the site, he only contributes to posting. He has no involvement outside of reporting back to Corgana. Corgana, consequently, doesn’t really post anything himself. If Corgana is relying entirely on Value to make the content then he’s driving away all of the other people who want to engage because they would have to deal with the ineptitude, petty behavior, childish temper tantrums, abuse, lies, and manipulation of ValueSubtracted. However if he got rid of Value then the community would thrive under its own power because they wouldn’t have to deal with the sporadic emotional freakouts of Value.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so utterly pathetic.
I agree, just venting. It’s unfortunate =(
What do Admins need to fix? I have never had a problem with the communities there.
Honestly, I don’t know lol, but for some reason enough people have been made mad that /c/Risa died and a whole new community was made, and now it’s happening again. Something is clearly up.
I don’t think so. OP was banned from startrek.website for harassing and I think they are just mad. I am inclined to believe the admins here since they are the same ones from reddit.
