Mastodon also has a Weird And Scary reputation because journalists didn't understand it. It's interesting how they now regularly tout Pixelfed as an "Instagram alternative" but Mastodon still has the stench of "too techie". I'm starting to think it's a good thing Lemmy has not yet had it's moment in the sun because it means the Mastodon team did the heavy lifting for the entire Fediverse.
Subscribed! Thanks for sharing. I have been considering creating a new reddit account to help spread the good word to the unsaved masses.
I'm inclined to agree, and the series from the past decade have definitely attracted a younger audience, though I'm guessing probably not to the degree the producers were hoping and also without holding onto as many of the olds as they were hoping.
I also think the latter half of the 20th century was a unique time where families were sitting down to watch family-friendly (it's true don't deny it) TV like Star Trek together.
I see this take a lot, but it frankly just doesn't reflect what I see on the screen. Can you give some examples from the shows that influenced you to form that opinion? I agree DS9 could probably be correctly be considered "dystopian , brooding and militaristic", sure, but Discovery, Picard and SNW are (if anything) cloyingly optimistic and positive!
Dammit, I saw the single comment and I knew someone had beaten me to it.
OP if you enjoy a fun weekend project, don't go with a pi-hole. It literally only takes about 5 minutes. Also I recommend the blocklistproject lists https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/
Honestly curious what kind of content you believe requires less effort to post than an image macro?
Same, I've already finished a second watch through
The deflector on the nebula class just always looks like a dumb little mouth to to me
FOSS land is always going to be populated by freaks and geeks. The well socialized devs get jobs at Google. It's impressive the "system" works as well as it does, IMO. Passion is a big motivator.
There is a reason the type of devs who have the talent, passion and time for projects like this are not spending 60hrs/wk at Google.
I've watched this seven times and I can confirm that it gets dumber every time. 10/10.
The moderator to user ratio on the fediverse is orders of magnitude higher than commercial platforms. Even Lemmy.world (a large, loosely moderated Lemmy instance) has again, orders of magnitude more eyes on its content than reddit.
This means that even if a chatbot gets invented that is impossible to distinguish form a human, mods will more readily be able to tell if it is pushing a narrative/shilling products.

This post is definitely Tankie bait
Honestly I had the same thought. But on the other hand, internet outrage talking points have also become extremely formulaic...

Can anyone help explain "Dot and Bubble" to me? (spoilers obv)

You know things are getting real when a Starfleet officer takes off their jacket.
In honor of the late William Anders, here's a really great video on the "Earthrise" photo and how improbable it is that we have it at all
