MODERATORS
 

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

Nobody Goes There Anymore, It’s Too Crowded

Given the option between hanging out with 3,000 Trekkies who are willing to plunge headfirst into a strange new ecosystem and 600,000 Trekkies who find making an account to be an onerous process, I'll take the former, thanks

The irony of being a Trekkie but fearing strange new worlds.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago (5 children)

You'd think they'd all be excited to join this new federation

[–] GuyFleegman@startrek.website 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Cut 'em some slack, they're probably just big fans of that famous Trekkie catchphrase "diversity, who needs it? one combination is enough for me!"

[–] restingcarcass@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I mean it's right there in the intro monologue: "to timidly stay where everyone has already been"

Limited diversity in limited combinations.

A little less Mariposan, a little more Bringloidi
