Same, I’m obsessed! I never posted or commented at all, now I mod 2 small communities lol. I didn’t even make memes until the other day, this is like my 5th one.
Just popping in to say I don’t think lemmy.ml ever defederated from lemmy.world, they just had issues sending info to each other during the really busy weekend due to all the new users. They’re definitely federated now, just checked their instance list at the bottom of the page.
I personally blocked the Beehaw communities I used to be in before they defederated because the only people who’d see and be able to interact with my posts and comments would be other lemmy.world users and it would be like a weird little echo chamber.
No idea if Beehaw will federate again, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see but there’s a lot out there in the mean time. And if you really want to join in Beehaw you can always make an account there.
Yeah DS9 was a bit more ‘real’ than the other seasons I think. Especially dealing with some pretty dark stuff like the war and how it was resolved, genocide was on the table like you say. Hmmm. Does make the federation look a bit different when you think about this shady stuff being allowed by the top brass because it works in their favour.
Section 31, the secretive illegitimate covert arm of Starfleet, had Sloan who really seemed like he’d done a lot in the name of the federation. He tells Bashir as much in Extreme Measures so it would be really cool to see some of the darker things the Federation disavowed or turned a blind eye to.
Very different tone to most trek probably but a whole different side of the federation, more of the unhappy side like the Maquis who don’t get explored much either.
Just to add on to this as the mod of a young community.
Mods can still see posts (and also comments I think) when you delete them on the communities they mod. Same with removed posts. So it’s not just admins that can still see things once they’re gone from most peoples view.
I always shipped Lwaxana Troi and Odo after the episode The Muse and there was often a theme of Odo exploring his emotional side.
Some kind of sitcom with Lwaxana and Odo raising a child together would be a trip. Or a series with them travelling on ambassadorial duties, Odo providing security and the kid running around being a telepathic nightmare. Good times.
I’ve been using ‘Custom Socks Knit to Fit Your Feet’ and adapting patterns to my own, or other peoples, measurements. It does mean getting an accurate swatch but I’ve been keeping notes with all the different yarns I use so I only have to do the swatch once per yarn
Absolutely! I’m posting multiple times a day some days and commenting a lot more. It feels a bit more like you get noticed but also doesn’t feel like you’re going to get your head bitten off just for speaking. And you can use emojis here 👍👋
