startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they've both locked their subs over there for good. Follow @startrek for all your Trek needs. ๐Ÿ–– :trek:

To boldly go

[โ€“] whateveeeer@startrek.website -3 points 2 years ago (8 children)

If any of the mods of those subreddits are here, can you reconsider permanently locking?

The communities on those subs took years to develop, and you're going to lose a lot of quality posts and discussion, since most people won't just move seamlessly to a new website. Beyond that, there are years of high quality posts that members of that community have made, which may not be utterly lost, but they will certainly be more inaccessible.

I'm pissed at the Reddit admins too, but I don't enjoy being forced onto some new site.

I'm writing with the context of the Twitter takeover by Elon Musk. I tried migrating to Mastodon (which seems analogous to Reddit/Lemmy). While I enjoyed not being on a site dominated by a person who, in addition to similar API price hikes, is racist and transphobic, many of the communities I value on Twitter never migrated. The result was that Mastodon was never an adequate replacement for the Twitter networks I was in. While I appreciate not giving money to a person I hate, I'm not eager to repeat that experience, especially because it seems like Reddit's breaches are more of a pure business decision, which I find somewhat palatable, even if I'm unhappy to be forced off the apps I previously used.

I definitely am not opposed to the existence of this website, and in time I imagine it may develop its own unique community that some people value more than Reddit. However, I enjoy having the option of both sites available.

Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.

[โ€“] refugee@startrek.website -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sorry - the downvotes have made me realize that "we had to destroy the village to save it" isn't third-grade bullshit, it's kindergarten bullshit. But please, play on, those, like, 5 of you who decided that it was your call to dump years of posts into oblivion because the platform that supported your conversation for years decided they'd had enough of freeloading.
