A few of us did leave comments and posts behind telling people where to go, but they quickly got deleted by the mod. Sorry, we tried. Glad you managed to find us!
While I enjoy the content, I subscribe to neither. Rest assured that anyone who has browsed Hot or Top 24h would sooner or later be made aware of the existence of TenForward. The spam quality content here tend to bubble up to the top. 🖖
Hey, you’re the creator of the original r/risa back on Reddit! Yeah, it’s crazy how quickly the burrito truck tanked it…the exodus practically happened overnight! I found out about Ten Forward not 48 hours after Stamets created it, and by then 95% of the posters had already moved away from Risa. I’m sorry they killed your creation, it’s a real shame it had to happen over such stupid reasons.
Yeah, I am genuinely sad they killed it… but not all that surprised. I cut ties with that instance precisely because their moderation style is so opaque and capricious. It’s great to see the spirit of the place live on here.
On paper, we did that. There are multiple admins and we laid out a mission statement and guiding principles to try and ensure everyone was on the same page.
But at the end of the day, there’s one name on the domain registration and one person getting the monthly bill. When that person tells you “these other people are more important to the success of this instance than you are” following a disagreement on how to apply those guiding principles, there’s not much you can do but get out of Dodge.
The removed my posts asking people to post more because of “drama”
I didn’t even know there was “drama” until recently. I like the idea of startrek[.]website but I don’t like the way its being run. They should do a voluntary shift change.
Really?! Jesus. I have been giving Corgana and ValueSubtracted way too much credit then. I assumed they were the ones who came up with the name. Half expecting to find out next that it wasn’t even their idea to move.
Not really related but I love everything you bring to Lemmy and I haven’t caught the Star Trek bug yet. Give ’em hell and don’t let them bring you down.
In one of those deleted posts you told me that my other instance (Beehaw) is especially aggressive about blocking instances, and you said that there had been some disagreement with a mod that I’d have to research myself.

No joke, I browse top 12h and the first day of the switch was already a huge difference, and now I basically don’t see Risa anymore.
Heh, of course he did. It takes a real big brain to kill a community where the only rule is “there are no rules.” A big, smooth brain.

I sure am, and thanks!

Maybe next time divide the power of the instance between people. From there you could create some policies to handle issues.
It seems like drama in community infrastructure is common. Its best to think ahead.
Sorry about your instance though. I take it you didn’t buy the domain.

Fair enough
Thanks for listening. I appreciate it.

startrek.website is a disgrace to the principles of its namesake.
I’ve been wondering lately if they’re even allowed to get away with that domain and branding.
The domain and name of the place was my idea, how do you think I feel :(

Damn…
Maybe startrek2[.]website?

Hey, I made it over. Thanks for the heads-up you gave me! The notification came through before the post was deleted.
Who are you? Anyway I’m glad I could help.
