It’s a part of a long-standing internet tradition. I first knew the format as the Conversatron (1999). Posting in-character like this might go back as far as early IRC or Usenet.
Real question is: is there anywhere on Mastadon for this kind of stuff?

My wife sends me stuff like this from Tumblr constantly, lol. I think there must still be a lot (at least Trek).

Riker Googling on Twitter was fun.

There’s a Mastodon account doing that- mastodon.social/@RikerGoogling@botsin.space

If I can find this again (or some like it), I will!
