Please be aware that comment violates our instance rules, we are assuming it is some kind of misguided joke. Please try to be more respectful in the future.

I…don’t know that there’s much of any real point to this post. I don’t know a lot of people who watch Trek and wanted to share

Literally the point of this entire instance :)

It appears that perhaps a transporter accident has duplicated this post…

Might as well had been a million, I don’t think it could have gone better! ❤️

I have no idea where you’re seeing a million, I’m seeing 1,300. But that’s still very high for the fediverse! And it’s definitely the highest we’ve ever had in one of our local communities.

Not to the American East Coast😅(I added a sticky comment clarifying)

First of all I agree, but also on that note- we have actually been in touch with the writer for that episode (Eric Anthony Glover) about a possible AMA in the future as well. But first we want to see how this one goes!

To be clear, this is for 4pm EST

This is the thread for questions!

Sexism violates our instance principles, I know you’re a regular here so please edit your comment (being Australian is not a excuse here).

Consider this a friendly reminder to yourself and all users here that if you see a user behaving in a way you just plain don’t like, (even if it’s on another instance) don’t hesitate to report it to us. The admin team is extremely aggressive with blocks and bans. We want this instance to be a quiet, thoughtful, and fun entry point to the Fediverse. And we want our users to be happy.

That said I understand the need for a break! I’ll miss your presence and as ValueSubtracted said we’ll keep the antimatter inducers uh, er- inducing.

Currently stalled but we’re working on it.

Uh, everything’s under control. Situation normal, everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine… We’re all fine here now. Thank you.

How are you?

If we go “by the book” like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days.

But seriously it will take days.

In case anyone else is as confused as I was: yes, we are defederated from Hexbear.net. This image is simply hosted there.

You know, if Spock were here, he’d say that you were an irrational, illogical human being by taking on a mission like this.

…Sounds like fun!

Let’s just say there’s a reason we moved to the place where defederation is an option…

After all, any instance can pickup some of those and isn’t representative of the instance as a whole.

I think I speak for the whole admin team that we actually do hold instance owners responsible for the communities they host, the same way we hold Reddit (the company) responsible for the communities they choose to host. That said, we made the decision that (for now) the best practice for handling large general purpose instances like .world or .ml is to take a scalpel approach until such a time comes that the Threadiverse is more resilient.

While ostensibly a “general purpose” instance, users on Hexbear had a tendency to come to our hosted communities and aggressively push propaganda, unfairly burdening our mods, so it was a much easier decision to de-federate. We actually did announce that one because of their size.

(Also FYI in case you’re not aware you are posting form lemmy.world so just to be clear none of these policies apply to your current account!)

EDIT: I also think it might be useful to highlight that we never take actions against other instances, we take actions for our users/communities.
