I agree with this, I didn't really notice it that much on Reddit, but since coming to Lemmy I notice how pleasant it is to have time to actually engage with content before a thousand new posts are churned to the top.

I also find that very strange. If you look at the upvote/downvote ratio on the original threads announcing the subs would be going dark, it seems like most are/were in favour. But probably the ones who are still commenting the most were against it because they are still there? Idk. Anyway, I prefer our c/startrek over r/startrek -- especially atm.

Yes, I did like things about it also and I am hopeful next week will be a return to form. I feel like they can't go very wrong with the Lower Decks crossover at least. (I hope...)

I'm sorry you didn't like it, Iiii obviously didn't particularly either. It makes me remember how they were all talking about already filming s2 when s1 came out. It is disappointing. I hope they will get back to the SNW of s1. What is most frustrating is that Lower Decks is consistently good Trek specifically, so they do still know how to do it, they just don't seem to want to put any money into it? Even though their shows keep eventually petering out because the core audience of Star Trek is -- weirdly enough -- Star Trek fans. I am concerned that they will not listen to negative -> lukewarm feedback because they will just be like oh now you don't like the good one either, we can't please you! But, like, you can! It's so easy! You're already doing it with Lower Decks, all you have to do is make good Star Trek that isn't some weird action movie/soap opera mash up with Star Trek theming.

I agree, although also I think their official app is unpleasant to use on purpose, because it's designed to put ads in front of users, not to actually allow users to see content.

I do normally use RiF on my phone -- but yeah, mostly I am using my PC. For me it is mostly the principle also. Especially the way it seems likely to affect blind and visually impaired users, but also even just the overreach and disregard of the userbase who creates any value the site has. :/

Hooray, that is a very Star Trek resolution to the story. :)

Oh that's good to hear! It did make me sad thinking that it had created conflict.

The impression I got was that some mods have left and/because the remaining mods have decided to reopen. Honestly the thread was a bit depressing, lots of "it's their platform, they can do what they like" and "who cares, it doesn't affect me". :/

Wasn't there a thread on r/startrek today about them deciding to reopen? I was surprised by how many users were pretty angry about it having been closed, tbh. I felt really good about the decision to close, even before I joined Lemmy.

Oh my gosh, I agree about Chapel/Spock! I thought I was the only person in the world.
