It is quite logical.

I say we celebrate the founding of startrek.website as Federation Day.

@beelzebeard I can’t believe this is NOT the first thing I thought 🤣

I 100% agree. Federated social networks are about empowering diversity and actualizing democracy. Not just saying “oh we live in a democracy so we must be free” but actually building that freedom out into the structures of our communities. We are freer and more powerful together on a federated social network, and not only can this fan community continue to grow, its presence will definitely encourage other communities to join the fediverse too.

If other people see the fediverse or lemmy mentioned in passing and think “oh, the star trek reddit moved there didn’t it? yeah startrek.website” that does a service for the fediverse as whole by making it real to people.

I also think that if this community wanted to allow other topics on it, star trek is a great foundation to build a more general community around! Don’t know if that is what people want, just that I think a lot of people might come in the door for star trek and might find like minded people who like discussing other stuff too.
