This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

    I had the exact same response from my favorite sub too, was honestly pretty hurt by it. Then the mods removed it after enough downvotes.

    Like guys I love this community, at least I thought I did, I just want to see it continue without being held hostage by Reddit. Same thing, I didn’t get angry, didn’t push people to switch over, was more like “Hey we have a community over here, if anyone feels like they need to leave Reddit, here we are”, like “here’s a safe landing spot for you”. I’d never seen my favorite community, where I had tens of thousands of karma from, get so angry.
