So, the reddit is closed today.

"r/STO is "off" for August 30th to raise awareness of Reddit's inaction in regards to addressing vaccine misinformation on Reddit. We stand in solidarity with the various Star Trek communities on Reddit such as r/StarTrek, r/startrekgifs, r/StarTrekDiscovery, r/DeepSpaceNine, r/StarTrekPicard, r/TNG, r/LowerDecks, /r/DaystromInstitute, as well as many other subreddits in taking this step."

Why is a video game getting political?

littlery every other game I play is not doing anything like this, why?

Really? Seriously? So, if you were to create a Reddit or some type of discussion forum, you don't think it is your right to proceed any way that you see fit to do so?

If it is as large as STO reddit, it would be my responblity to be a good moderation and think about the users that are using what I created. Like for example, I run a discord for a old tower defense mulityplayer game, I would never just close it down or anything, I would as the community because I would not want to risk loseing there trust, taking years to build something up, and not letting the power get to your head is a very hard thing to do. With STO reddit, the mods let the power get to there heads, not thinking of there community. It is there way or the high way.

So, that would mean that you are for the government regulating large social media platforms? Because if they are above a certain size then they would have to follow certain rules? lol.

If you need info, you could always uh, consult another community (perhaps in-game where people are actually playing the game?) or the “official” STO wiki or better yet, ask the company themselves with a GM ticket. Because it’s _social_ *media* it is inherently biased and political. Reddit is not a company manual.

The behavior of software companies nowadays to have barely minimal documentation and rely on user-driven wikis is a huge frustrating change from old school RTFM behavior. Not sure if it’s poorly implemented Agile or just overwork or bad development tool design that doesn’t automate documentation more effectively (the expensive IBM Rational Rose does this but I haven’t used that in ages).

Using Reddit for news is citizen journalism at its best and worst.

good old social media virtue signalling lol. It's silly imo but hey, it's their right and so I support it.

This generation doesn't know how to RTFM.

If they can't watch someone else do it on YouTube they're screwed.

Hey, remember that Star Trek episode when Dr. Crusher is about to save her 2000th alien species from extinction with a vaccine she's just invented, and Picard walks in and says, "woah, hold up Beverly, let's not force our political views on the TV audience. Plus there's an anonymous signal from somewhere in space telling us this is all a hoax. Let's listen to that instead of your proven scientific method that has saved countless lives over and over again."

Yeah, I don't see how a website of Star Trek fans could possibly take a position on a controversial issue like applying medical science to global diseases. That's totally not connected to the themes of the show. It's about lightsabres and hoaky religions where stuff just happens if you believe in it, if I remember correctly.
