Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other's content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.

Thank you, the comments were getting pretty rough the last couple days.

Oh thank goodness. I like this instance a lot but the hexbear spam was annoying.

too little too late, but they needed to be a little less locutus and a little more jean-luc.

For anyone on a different server, you can always personally defederated from a server under Settings in the Block tab at the very bottom. I eventually ended up being defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml.

Yes, I strongly encourage people to curate their own experience.

+1 for using Bookstack.

We use that at work for some internal documentation. Love it.

The link to their Terms of Service in the post is running on an open-source wiki software called "Bookstack".

Oh, thanks for explaining!

I've heard of stray comments on Lemmy, was 100% sure this was one of those.

Its an amazing tool. No one else at my work wants to adopt it so it is my personal documentation app.

Defederation is the nuclear option. Until now we had removed any communities we weren't comfortable hosting, and treated users on a case-by-case basis based on how they behaved in our communities, which worked for a while but became untenable.

When we started this project the admin team felt that welcoming outsiders into our (wholesome, sane) Star Trek communities was the net-positive action. But as I said it became too much to handle so we unfortunately had to cut the cord.
