Recently banned from communities i either haven’t interacted with at all, or not for some time (since the shit went down with Stamets iirc).
Since the debacle that is AdmiralPatrick is just getting sad at this point, i choose to believe it was for saying “Stamets was right”

Why the hell is it that this place is so overwhelmed with stupid, petty drama lately?
The tesserqct dev, i think some blahaj mods are fighting over a dead community, whatever the fuck this is now, piefed dev being a turd, holy shit is it annoying. I am so grateful that my instance seems to be entirely drama free.
a full 90% of that is just one dude. startrek.website is ol’ paddy’s stomping ground.
This is a continuation of the tesseract dev thing. Your four-item list is really more like maybe two, two and a half items if you combine the ones that are related.
Fair enough, i am not really invested in the deep lore so to say. Just seems that there is permanent bickering going on in some way or shape on my feed, which is entertaining, but also gets old fast.
that’s any kind of forum since forever tho. you can do your best to avoid it, but it’s always gonna be somewhere. people always do stupid shit and other people always call them out and laugh about it, this isn’t even an internet exclusive thing.
There’s a cycle to it and you can usually identify it across the usage of a single term: “tankie”. 3+ year pattern.
People obsessed with owning the tankies crash out and make fools of themselves, new people who hate tankies take up the banner to salvage the cause.
Tesseract dev = Poor attempt to own tankies, moment of unity across fediverse.
Now we will have a week or two of backlash. The 196 stuff seems to fit into that because the basis is ‘tankie’. But that’s community level stuff so whatever.
Several scratched liberals have crashed out in this calendar year. goat, PugJesus, rimu.
Pugjesus doesnt count, they crash out every three months.
It was interesting to read for a day. But now…yawn…
