I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂

I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel’s performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.

Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

@[email protected]’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it’s there. It’s nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.

We out here shilling for Big Lemmy

I’m still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous

Artist: “I made this from bits of my soul tied together with leftover trauma and the memory of my childhood home”

Reddit:

Honestly curious… what exactly are you doing in a community who’s stated goal is to evangelize the Lemmy network?

I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not “debating” earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn’t interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

Oh my yes.

Agree completely, I also just feel it’s important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.

What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?

The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.

Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with “debate”.

Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

I was as surprised as you!

I joined what I thought was a plain simple Star Trek Website how did I end up here please someone help

“Just keep on Lemmy. It feels like Reddit did 14 years ago.”

For better or worse this really nails it. I also think it’s a good reminder that when Reddit conquered Digg it happened over a six month period because there was like 100k users maybe total. There are so many more people involved with Reddit these days it’s going to take literal years before Lemmy is anywhere near the same level in terms of MAU.

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it’s own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010’s retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.
