    I will ask to keep things a lil more civil. We’re not trying to cause drama here. What happened in the other place happened but we’ve got this whole new space to explore and after all, that’s what Starfleet is about right? And I mean that for everyone in general. There’s no point in focusing on what’s happened. Just gotta start putting our first forward into this bold frontier.

    However I will say this, the current moderator of the other place is not the creator. The creator is actually a really cool guy who’s active in this community and I’ve had the pleasure of having conversations with. He’s a genuinely really kind and wonderful person who shares the exact same ideals that Ten Forward does.

      Feel free to hide / delete this post if you want to cut down on the meta meme navel gazing. 👋 The vibes had felt off for a couple weeks, and finding Ten Forward this morning was a pleasant surprise.

        Nah, it’s fine. It also gives me a moment to address that general vibe. There have been some people talking about goings on with the other instance or community and I don’t really care that much provided people are being respectful about it. We haven’t really talked about why we left because we’re trying to have this community built off of hope and love and moving in that direction. Confusion and people going “wait, what happened?” isn’t a problem but it can be if people start crossing some lines with the answers.

        I didn’t agree with the rest of the instance’s mods approach to moderation, for reasons that are now very public and obvious.

        I’m just the mod here. Even then it’s not something I particularly want to get into myself. It’s not my place anyway but just not the kinda energy I’m trying to drive.
