So many fond memories of playing "find the obscure clause in the inter-species contract" with my action figures.

"Many small instances that can survive with a couple of donations" seems much more sustainable than a handful of large ad-selling business "powered by Mastodon".

Well said! My instance doesn't need ads because the servers don't care about profits.

For some reason this quote popped into my head:

Q: The Jean-Luc Picard you wanted to be [...] learned to play it safe. And he never, ever got noticed by anyone.

Every reddit-brained geek said the same thing about LD and then ended up liking it so I'm glad Paramount isn't listening to the fearful fans.

Risk is our business!

I've never seen an ad-based tier on a Mastodon instance and the network does just fine 🤷‍♂️

Without executives leeching money from going to the actual cost of servers things seem to work better! Go figure!

Anyone else just stopped using reddit after not getting it in search results? in c/reddit

I quit as the top mod of /r/StarTrek in 2021 in protest against Reddit's platforming of vaccine disinformation subreddits. Then in 2023 during the API protest, myself and several of the remaining mods (including mods from /r/Risa and /r/DaystromInstitute) started StarTrek.website.

The consensus I've seen on Lemmy has been largely "we don't need to spread the word about our open platforms because Reddit will do something stupid again and there will be another protest and Lemmy will be promoted there". So I hope we can take this as a lesson that we can't rely on platforms being shitty in order to switch society over to open standards. We need to do our best to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed good as well as known.
