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.

FTA:

The last full version of the webpage, archived by the Internet Archive on July 17, still included the now-deleted sections. Parts of Section 8 of Article I, as well as all of Sections 9 and 10 of Article I are now gone from the live site. The deletions, as of August 6, are also archived here. The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.

It's remarkable that Lemmy (specifically /u/silence7@slrpnk.net ) spotted, mass upvoted and reported it before gaining any kind of critical mass on Reddit.

Reddit's new UI feels like it's designed to discourage surfacing that kind of discovery and content...

I've found that Lemmy is incredibly quick with anything news-related. I mostly use the All-feed and if there's any breaking news going on, it'll be on the first page. Sometimes I head over to reddit to compare and the articles posted there will only start to gain traction 1-2 hours later.

We've effectively replaced reddit now. All that's left is for scale to give us all the niche community goodness we all want and reddit will just be a faint nostalgic memory

A while ago I modified one of my browsers searchplugins to add " -reddit" to all google searches, so I get better results. Can recommend.

Honestly asking- without Reddit what's left of Google besides AI generated SEO pages?
