trekchu

I've said this elsewhere, but this is Peak Star Trek. This is what Trek always was and always should be. Cerebral, examining the human condition and generally less reliant on shooty shooty bang bang than other franchises.

The Menagerie also worked out well, didn't it? Granted it only started as a courtroom drama. And then there's Court Martial. TLDR: Trek could pull this in the past.

Shall we embrace crossposting? -- Absolutely. Most content on Reddit is crossposted from god knows where. It's how sites like this work.

Shall we have links in our bios? -- Depends. I certainly won't-

Advocacy? -- I was never active enough over there to speak to that, but... up to you. I'm waiting to hear that speaking of alternatives has become a bannable offence.

Ignore?

-- I think that's wrong. See 1 as for why.

Okay, so as someone who is has been playing Stellaris for years now... the user interface and what we've seen of gameplay looks very familiar. This looks to be a mix between BOTF and Stellaris. I like!

Having used the app exactly once several years ago, I can't speak to that, but I can see that...

Honestly, for me it's not so much what they did, but rather how they went about it. To clarify, them wanting people to use the official app is fair enough, but instead of market economy, i.e. providing the superior product, they went gilded age capitalism and try to hulk smash the competition, and that's just not on for me.

Ironically, it actually doesn't affect me either, since 9 times out of ten, I use/used Reddit on desktop, my phone being, well a goddamn phone and an Ersatz-Kindle.

I don't know. I haven't been back since the day the move was announced. So if they have decided to reopen, be it old mods or not, all the power to them. I don't care any more.

There'll always be people who thrive in that sort of environment. Very recently someone said he was going to block me because I didn't agree with him on how PIC S3 is 'stupid fan pandering and NotTrueTrek' and instead asked what he would suggest as an alternative if in charge. I.e. some people are in it for the ranting and internet fighting.

I like this.

Reminds me of when I got banned from a Star Wars forum for saying that I liked some aspects of the prequels ('twas long ago) and not hating on them and Lucas enough.

EDIT: That being said, for me, r/startrek was more about the community, and the spirit, core of it has moved here, then so be it. If reddit is little more than a knowledgebase/thing I come across when googling STObuilds or something then that's also fine.

God yes. That's so goddamn annoying every time. Primary reason why I always skip 30 days.
