๐ฏ this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I've had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.

GFR is like the journalist article version of Midnight's Edge. Literally does nothing but report on non-sense and inject it with extraordinary amounts of vitriol and bad faith arguement.
I actually wrote up a pretty strong disagreement for that post between the moment it appeared and when it got taken down, because the author clearly has a chip on their shoulder and wants to complain that anything that isn't Picard S3 or SNW is done by people who "don't get Trek" and that both shows "aren't a good fit for the universe." Neither of these things are true, considering Disco was created by long-time Berman-Era Trek contributor Bryan Fuller, and Prodigy is quite possibly one of the Trekkiest shows around.
They just don't like anything marginally different from their 90s comfort nostalgia formula that sent us straight into our wilderness years after franchise fatigue with Enterprise.
The mods would have had auto-mod blocklist that domain over on r/startrek, so it shouldn't be a surprise it gets removed here either.
Came here to post this, Mint just got purchased by T-Mobile.
The Elon comment kinda comes back around, you'll just need to keep watching and it'll make sense. Also, that image I used above was from a TOS episode about racism being stupid all the way back in the 60s. It's not trying to be subtle, and it never was.
And there's STILL people who think it's a show that glorifies and celebrates white, western colonialism and American exceptionalism. It has to be blatant because people miss the point regularly.
It's more than a theme, it's the entire cloth the show is cut from. It's meant to be a vehicle for progressive, egalitarian, humanist ideals. It dares to see the world as a better place without the chains and vices of greed and capitalism and bigotry.
It's not popcorn sci-fi. It's a surprisingly deep show meant to make you confront biases and prejudices you may not have even realized you had.
Star Trek has always been contemporary issues wrapped in the veneer of space aliens. It's not meant to be pure escapism.
Paramount dumping $500 million a year into Yellowstone and 1923 but they cut the two Emmy winning Trek shows that cost a literal fraction of the price.
It's definitely possible that the Seventh Guarantee wasn't part of the Code of Justice until after this incident, too. Maybe there's a push for it after the United Federation of Planets v. Una Chin-Riley ruling because of the conduct of Pasalk.
It's not the rules on those servers, but the rules on the server you belong to, i.e lemmy.world. Looking at their main site, their rule 3 is as follows:
Oh they're the same one who got the top mod removed from r/adviceanimals. Literally the type of mod that has the userbase riled up against the mods by their actions. Shame they run so many LGBTQIA+ communities, I wouldn't trust them to maintain a safe space.
Meanwhile, Cedar is badmouthing you in a stickied post on the subreddit. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

Microsoft and Sega have a long partnership with gaming going back to the original XBox days where they got a ton of exclusives originally meant for the Dreamcast after it died. This news is the least surprising to me. Hell, their OG controller is literally the DC controller with an added stick and no VMU support.
It's how we also ended up with stuff like PSO2 in the West after Sega abandoned it.
