Well, actually you can. The admins of lemmy.world are far more responsive to actual criticism and will deal with abusive moderators. There have been more than one that has been removed due to their actions. The admins of Startrek.website didn’t care at all and listened to zero criticism or feedback.
TenForward was also created because of the moderators not the admins, a very large distinction that needs to be made. When TenForward was initially created, we were on perfectly good terms with the admins, even if we didn’t agree with them. At no point in the creation of this community were the admins a consideration.
Yeah, we could’ve done much worse for admins. Lemmy.world is pretty good right now but I’m concerned about the centralization of power and the single point of failure. I would’ve preferred a medium sized instance but you can’t win it all I suppose.
Maybe at some point the community can create a different community on a medium sized instance. I’m just concerned about potentially controversial decisions being made that have a huge impact on the community.

TenForward is proof that with Lemmy the concern shouldn’t be so severe. Risa is enormous and was for a while. But now it is effectively dead with no one posting on it. Why? Because controversial decisions of the community caused the community to go to another instance and set things up there instead.
I wouldn’t worry too much. Star Trek is pretty aggressively about hope and freedom. Even if I were to become the most Romulan bastard around, it wouldn’t change the community. They’d all leave and set up on another instance and should rightfully do so.
We can’t. That’s part of the reason I try really hard to avoid Lemmy.world

Fediverse be awesome, yo.
That scene made me laugh so damn hard. That’s always exactly how I imagined they acted.
