I don’t think they’re panicking, this is how they always behave. Trump is saying a moronic thing again to draw attention from the actual important authoritarian shift onto “what stupid meaningless shit did he say”. It’s the same fucking playbook every time.

Very little

I think that depends quite a bit on what you listen to.

This raises kids with cool music tastes. My 14yo might be a bigger fan of 2000s indie rock than I am, and I was, y’know, both a fan of and the target demographic of that music when it was being made.

I don’t blame you for the linked article. Although I can’t agree with liking st5 or nemesis, I am entirely behind you on the ramming/self destruct part.

TBF it’s only hated in implication but that’s too much for me.

Not only that in the same section he goes on to say that Frakes could have taken notes from TMP on how to set up Insurrection which is just… the weirdest take, since IMO those movies suffer from almost the exact same problems that come from making a pretty mid episode into a feature film.

I’m glad someone said this before I had to, thanks to Lower Decks pakleds are now easily the best C-tier star trek species.

Even before lower decks, “We look for things that make us go” is just an excellent meme.

Edit: Oh, this person is a first contact hater. While I don’t disagree with eveyr one of their opinions, they can now be safely ignored as a general rule ;)

and this way we’re also not throwing value at a hostile american corporation.

As a person who has probably typed thousands of words defending the difference between ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ I can’t tell you how good I feel reading your comment.

afaict Lemmy stayed ‘pretty good’ after the last reddit migration, maybe this one will be enough to fuel a lot of the niche communities that I think are missing here.

yay this time I came back to lemmy before it was cool.

you too friend!

I got suspended because I was banned from a sub years ago on a different account, and I can’t block that subreddit. Accidentally commented on r/all, instantly suspended for ‘ban evasion’. I didn’t make a secret of the alt account, I made it to avoid doxxing. I didn’t want to comment on the subreddit, I’d block it from my feed if I could. Reddit knew I was banned and could have just kept me from posting there in the first place. Instead, suspension for evasion. Their whole setup is truly bizarre.

Anyway it dramatically reduced my doomscrolling so it wasn’t a bad thing

Honestly I don’t think that’s quite it. Switching to a different instance is no different from switching to a new sub: sometimes it’s just not realistic. What I think the advantage here is is that Reddit is effectively one instance, and they have no interest in doing any kind of community admin. There will be instances like that here too, but it’s not going to be all of them (I suspect not even most)

Yeah, their “moderates” list is huge. I hope that with individual instances having more control here, we don’t see quite as many of these absurd thousand-community mods.
