Well this is fun: The #Federation has joined the #Fediverse! r/StarTrek shuttered and went to a Lemmy instance -- https://startrek.website/ #Reddit #RedditMigration
Star Trek Website - A Lemmy instance operated by ex-Reddit moderators from the StarTrek, Risa, and Daystrom Institute communities

Lemmy

@thomasconnor The more, the merrier, on the Fediverse.
@thomasconnor and they left the subreddit dark with a message that they have moved to lemmy. Huge! Go visit r/startrek to see.

@thomasconnor

As the great Captain Picard once said, "HELL YEAH BROTHER!"

Now I’m concerned, as their mods were owned by paramount and didn’t really allow criticism…
@thomasconnor
Only going forward ‘cause we can’t find reverse.

@thomasconnor I am not sure how a fandom of a fictional egalitarian and socialist future will fare on a platform developed by current day neo-nazis.

@thomasconnor This is a great plan for other communities, but r/StarTrek mods silently deleted over half my positive, on-topic comments and never responded to modmail, so I’ll pass.
@thomasconnor Can anyone comment on the group decision making process of this migration? Were there particularly motivated champions? Was there a period of gathering support? Was there a collaborative decision making process? Did a core group synchronise the timing of their migration? How did they decide to share the costs of the new instance? I think this would be a fascinating study
