MODERATORS
 

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

I was incredibly proud of the trek community for boldly going into the new frontier of the internet. Taking the entire subreddit for the ride could have really helped mass adoption of decentralized social networking. I expected the sub to reopen eventually, but I'm pretty disappointed by the reaction of those currently posting in that thread. If any fanbase should be willing to move forward with the times, we should.

Same thing happened with the Twitter migration. It reveals those who get it and those that don’t. We all differ in our values in these things. It kinda sucks but undeniably. Some of us care and are willing to sacrifice for something better. Others need their convenience and fail to see bigger picture morals.

All we can do is build what we want to see. That’s how the world gets changes.

Only issue I have is I’m not clear on how committed the mods are to maintaining this instance??
