implies the Federation of TNG is a naive facade

Man, is there anything more 90s scifi than this concept?

Reddit mods have less power to remove unwanted speech than Lemmy admins do. If you are upset because mods would not let you say something in their communities, Lemmy is not going to be more accommodating for that.

~~inb4 someone on lemmy says a single piece of media they haven't even seen is responsible for "shitting all over the entire franchise"~~

EDIT: nvm

Villains who's engineered virus forced the Dominion to the negotiating table... just saying.

"Good and evil isn't as black and white as TNG portrayed it" is kinda DS9's whole deal.

I secretly wrote "star wars" in sharpie on the undercarriage of my 2002 hyundai elantra and would you believe it to my eye it looks no different whatsoever

What bugs have you encountered lately? I've been playing around with it (only a couple of days now) and it's overall been very smooth experience for me.

If the article doesn't define what "AI" means then the article doesn't actually mean anything. Market research studying what people know about a vague and undefined term like "AI" can ultimately only produce undefined results.

It's like asking people their feelings on "woke" or "god". If everyone is talking about something different then nobody can have more or less understanding of it.

This hits hard. Is it your OC?

Activitypub accounts are portable actually. Lemmy is not as slick as Mastodon with this feature yet but will likely get there.

Eh, if an instance allows trolls, then that instance typically gets defederated from very quickly (at least it does on my instance). The only reason it is an issue now is that two of the big three instances (.world and .ml) have very lax moderation standards. If the lemmy-verse grows to the size of Reddit, then two lax instances won't be as big of an issue.

Lemmy's design is fundamentally excellent to deal with bad actors, the whole point of ActivityPub/Federation is that moderation is much more effective while also preserving free speech. I'm not sure what that person on about.

 

From @nocontexttrek@mastodon.social

 
 

"Sure, The Borg have been a bit of a problem. Their tendency toward mass assimilation and the stripping of individuality and personal freedom doesn’t exactly jibe with our idea of what makes a great leader. But let’s be honest. Kathryn Janeway hasn’t been perfect."

 
 

I quit as the top mod of /r/StarTrek in 2021 in protest against Reddit's platforming of vaccine disinformation subreddits. Then in 2023 during the API protest, myself and several of the remaining mods (including mods from /r/Risa and /r/DaystromInstitute) started StarTrek.website.

The consensus I've seen on Lemmy has been largely "we don't need to spread the word about our open platforms because Reddit will do something stupid again and there will be another protest and Lemmy will be promoted there". So I hope we can take this as a lesson that we can't rely on platforms being shitty in order to switch society over to open standards. We need to do our best to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed good as well as known.
