  • I think it makes more sense to think of local as the federation. It’s the communities (planets) that founded the federation or we have treaties with. All is more like the galaxy. It’s the great unknown, containing pleasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. There is (or will be) everything from hippie planets to gangster planets to cowboy planets to nazi planets. We’ll venture out to meet them, and some will become allies, while others will become adversaries. The more we experience, the more we learn about ourselves, but we can always find our way back home to the federation (local).



  • This was just the dress rehearsal, it seems like people forgot that. The protest isn’t the event, the policy changes are the event. The protest was just to let them know that the users do care about the impending policy changes. When those changes take effect, lots of people are going to discover that the app they use to browse reddit doesn’t work anymore. Some will install the official [cr]app and go on with their lives, but some won’t. It won’t be a mortal wound, but a lot of users will be lost at that moment. That’s when a wave of users looking for a new permanent home will arrive. Since Lemmy has been mentioned all over reddit, and in articles about the reddit drama, a lot of the trekkies among them will end up here. All we have to do is wait. Lemmy may not be the site/network with the biggest trek presence (yet), but i’m confident it will grow to a healthy size in short order.
