Agreed!

I liked that moment too. This episode fell a bit flat for me overall, but I appreciated what they were trying to get at.
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 1 week ago:
I haven’t seen much arguing, it is unquestionably centralized and for profit. There truly is nothing unique about it.
I’m not an expert with the AT protocol but it really seems like what Dorsey and co have made is a super complicated protocol that (under specific conditions that cannot exist in the real world), has the potential to be federated in a meaningful way. That way they can steal all the talking points of the fediverse and muddy the meaning of words.
There are also a lot of people on Fedi who will seek out threads like these to explain how line 2532 of the AT protocol handbook explains how having 100% of users on a single server is actually decentralized but I’m sure they’re all authentic accounts.

In 2133 scientists actually discover the surprising health benefits of a good slap
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 3 weeks ago:
Some impressive gymnastics going on with the guy you’re replying to…
What I remember people saying about Enterprise at the time was along the lines of “hadn’t they learned their lesson with Voyager?” 7 of 9’s outfit was an embarrassing thing non-trekkies would point to when characterizing Trek fans as “virgin nerds”.
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 3 weeks ago:
On Reddit we actually had a rule that it was OK to ask “where do I start” or “how do I get my friend into Star trek” questions because someone would inevitably complain about “this again”. As if:
- Trekkies don’t love answering this question
- The existing Star Trek discussion boards on the internet weren’t gatekeepey enough…

I never got much into the comics, anyone with experience know if these are a good place to start?

Get you a show who can do both

He’s not really dead. As long as we remember him.

I’m pretty sure baldness is not a medical condition…
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 5 months ago:
I will be dead in the cold cold ground before I ever type “/s”
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 5 months ago:
I know it sounds insane but I swear to god BlueSky has astroturfing accounts on Lemmy. Every conversation (including yours here) about BlueSky is met with countless Sealions either saying it “will be federated soon” or asking “Why does federation matter?”
- Comment on Fansets have announced a mobile emitter, named EMH Mobile, coming to STLV 2025. 5 months ago:
Always wanted one of those!

This is an excellent thing to wear in public and wait for other Trekkies to notice.
- Comment on Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie 5 months ago:
Happy to help! I would love it if you report back, we used to get 100 “How do I get a friend into Trek” posts/day on /r/StarTrek but very few follow ups on if it stuck!
- Comment on Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie 5 months ago:
“Data’s Day” is actually a pretty great one to get someone into TNG, it’s fun, but most importantly, Data is essentially walking around introducing all of the main characters to the audience.
I typically recommend starting with TNG in general (I used to say because it was “modern” 😭) as it naturally leads into DS9 and VOY. That said if your friend doesn’t typically watch older shows but is open to them, then just starting with SNW or ENT is an excellent intro to the rest of Trek.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 6 months ago:
Which ones? Searched and couldn’t find anything.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 6 months ago:
Urban dictionary says it’s a term that refers to when an undercover government agent fails to blend in with whoever they’re trying to blend in with.
- Comment on Is there any counter AI bots in the fediverse 6 months ago:
Absolutely, if you’re seeing propaganda, it’s because it’s allowed on that instance. But the presence of propaganda has nothing to do if an account is an LLM or not.
- Comment on Is there any counter AI bots in the fediverse 6 months ago:
Moderation on the Feviderse is different that commercial platforms because it’s context-dependent instead of rules-dependent. That means that a user accout (bot or otherwise) that does not contribute to the spirit of a community will not be welcomed.
There is largely no incentive to run an LLM that is a constructive member of a community, bots are built to push an agenda, product or exhibit generally disruptive behavior. Those things are unwelcome in spaces built for discussion. So mods/admins don’t need to know “how to identify a bot”, they need to know "how to identify unwanted behavior".

When the show with the Black lady aired a lot of “”“longtime fans”“” and YouTubers decreed that it was “not canon” because of XYZ…
