Man I just love the content that is growing every day in these new forums ... nice work guys ... subscribed and will come back again and again.
I feel like we've rebelled against old alliances and we are restarting again in some far off outpost with minimal supplies but plenty of hope and enthusiasm.
I've cut my ties and I'm staying on this outpost with you all.
And I am so happy to see that. I joined up yesterday
I was fumbling around Lemmy instances looking for a βhome baseβ, frustrated when I couldnβt find anything I liked. Then I found this one posted on the Lemmy subreddit and was immediately excited!
Hit it!
Where my friends of DeSoto at?
Next on this old starship, we building a forum.
Also, where did the name friends of DeSoto come from? I've listened for years and feel like a missed a random reference.
It's from the early days of Greatest Gen, and references Captain DeSoto of the USS Hood (NCC-1703). DeSoto and the Hood made several appearances in TNG, and Ben and Adam leaned into his chill vibes, theorizing that the Hood would be a great place to work.
It's also an allusion to the phrase Friend of Dorothy, an older euphemism for LGBT people.
I think it was originally jokingly conceived as a sort of passphrase or shibboleth for fans of the pod to identify each other without revealing their embarrassing enthusiasm to outsiders, e.g.
Q: "Are you a friend of DeSoto?"
A: "Best boss I ever had!"
will this community also censure people whom talk about the remote possibility that the new star trek series might not be very good
I'm replying to a mastodon post, from a separate lemmy instance federated with startrek.website.
I'm living in the future.
What is this, the Mycelium Network?!
no sir. this is the federation.
I thought it was a Wendyβs.
Clearly I'm living on another instance, but I'm wondering is startrek.website community creation is locked or not? Feels like all the different Trek sub-communities should be hosted here. Show specific ones like Lower Decks, things like Star Trek Online, etc. but so far it seems like its just the big 3.
That's in the plans for the future for sure! (I'm the Admin for StarTrek.website)
I wanna see a r/shittydaystrom here as well
its such a fun sub
and don't forget about /r/tenagra
Reddit, its face white, its eyes red.
Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.
Ah yes, because moving to a platform free from profiteering owners, an objective improvement to the community, is clearly just because fefes were hurt...
Are there any browsable backups/archives of Daystrom? There's a vast amount of content there which I'd hate to see lost.
It looks like they're slowly copying over all the old posts of the week to the new /c/
