I always wondered if they changed it so that the plural isn’t pms.

Outrage bait. Too much of reddit was stories and videos of people acting badly.

That would be better. But I don’t think there needs to be a rule at all. Some questions are more suited to Watsonian answers, some to Doylist answers, and users are perfectly capable of judging which is which for themselves. The only rule that was needed was, perhaps, a rule against low-effort responses of either sort.

By the way, there is a Daystrom Institute: https://startrek.website/c/daystrominstitute

I was about to say I’d like to see something similar to Ask Science Fiction, but with more easy-going mods. It’s fine for the sub to focus on the in-universe perspective while still allowing an out-of-universe comments where they enhance the discussion.

East Asia? Home of North Korea, China, Myanmar et al?

No, but it should be.

There’s one aspect of it that I didn’t expect, and that’s its exclusivity. Seems like this is a small, but vibrant, community of geeks, just like the whole internet was in the 90s and 2000s.

I’m not 100% sure it’ll be able to replace reddit in the area of getting advice on niche topics, but I do believe I’ll enjoy being here.

Boy, that’s a blast from the past. I felt the same way about Star Wars Galaxies.
