I’ll have you know I meow at the ship computer.

Yes, intelligence is intelligence. There’s nothing about the rest of the body that the brain is encased in that makes one more or less deserving of rights.

Meow

Thank you for noticing, friend.

No, but the ship’s universal translator converts my meows into text so that I can post on Lemmy.

It was wildly difficult to set up, but the captain signed off on it after Geordi mumbled something about “federation” to him.

Looks right to me

Is there a way to find the most used tags?

Sometimes I’ll start to tag something, and a billion different variations show up, so I don’t know which to use.

Mastodon is a good alternative.

I say the more the merrier. I’m still going to use startrek.website, but it’s good to have a presence on other instances to avoid becoming reddit.

Get out of the holodeck, Lt Broccoli

I’m with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It’s a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think “Weird. Moving on.” and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

It’s not all bad, but I miss the sort of “wild west” feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn’t real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like “Gary’s Favorite Garlic Breads”, just run by Gary, who isn’t trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

Both of you are shortened for me, unlike most others in this comment section. Weird.

Hi Dr Zoidberg!

The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.

They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.

Howdy
