I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on [email protected].

Could you share more about what the mods are doing?

While I think it's better to discuss rule changes ahead of time, many communities are in early stages and are being built up as we go.

In that case it's still worth discussing the rule changes after they happen. You're free to use whichever community and not say anything, but it helps to share what you don't like so others can weigh in (and maybe change unpopular rules)

I just realized that this stamets guy posts like 17 posts at once (exactly the same time) every day. I dont think we need something like that.

Stamets provides a lot of the content on the startrek.website server, and apparently beyond. They're very active and I appreciate what they do fwiw.

I provide zero content on Startrek.website. I left that server a few months ago and migrated to lemmy.world. I haven't posted to any startrek.website community since November. I even deleted my startrek.website account. If you're looking for Star Trek based memes though, check out [email protected]

Thank you though. Seriously <3 Can't take too much credit though, I just post stuff I have saved.

Oh sorry for the fake news then. I'm out of the loop. I've seen your username a lot in the past and assumed. I knew you'd left Risa, I didn't realize it was the whole startrek.website. Sorry it came to that, I appreciated your content! 😁
