You specifically are not wanted because our sensors detected you were carrying a briefcase labeled "bribe money" that was actually full of borg nanites.

There are definitely some weird people who want the clout of owning a "popular" instance, but mark my words they will flame out soon enough if popularity is the root of their desire. Instance management is a lot of tedious work and if you don't have a passion for facilitating conversation and connecting people you're not going to last. This isn't Reddit where a powermod can just sit there and do the bare minimum for free.

Instance admin here, this is backwards. Instance costs increase with the number of users because we don't sell ads. The only people we want signing up for accounts on our instance are people who are excited to be there, and intend to bring their singular wit and conversational A-game.

Please be aware that comment violates our instance rules, we are assuming it is some kind of misguided joke. Please try to be more respectful in the future.

I…don’t know that there’s much of any real point to this post. I don’t know a lot of people who watch Trek and wanted to share

Literally the point of this entire instance :)

It appears that perhaps a transporter accident has duplicated this post...

Might as well had been a million, I don't think it could have gone better! ❤️

I have no idea where you're seeing a million, I'm seeing 1,300. But that's still very high for the fediverse! And it's definitely the highest we've ever had in one of our local communities.

Not to the American East Coast😅(I added a sticky comment clarifying)

First of all I agree, but also on that note- we have actually been in touch with the writer for that episode (Eric Anthony Glover) about a possible AMA in the future as well. But first we want to see how this one goes!

 

~~We're tweaking some settings on our new host to address the stability issues we've seen since transferring to the new hosting provider last week. StarTrek.website users might see above-average load times today and a few brief periods (1-2 minutes) of downtime.~~

This is completed. Please let us know if you experience any issues!

 

We are transferring to a new server. We expect everything to be complete without 48hours but could possibly take longer if we run into any issues.

Check our Mastodon account for updates: https://tenforward.social/@TrekSite

And if you would like to help with our increased hosting costs please consider subscribing to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/treksite

We will hopefully be seeing everyone on the other side very soon, if you have any inappropriate comments you've always wanted to make, now is the time to risk making them because they might not get caught in the backup!

🖖

EDIT: If you use vger.startrek.website or old.startrek.website those will likely take more time to get up and running again. Also the Wiki is sadly going away indefinitely.

 

Apologies for the inconvenience! Drunk
