Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

The last full version of the webpage, archived by the Internet Archive on July 17, still included the now-deleted sections. Parts of Section 8 of Article I, as well as all of Sections 9 and 10 of Article I are now gone from the live site. The deletions, as of August 6, are also archived here. The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.

I've found that Lemmy is incredibly quick with anything news-related. I mostly use the All-feed and if there's any breaking news going on, it'll be on the first page. Sometimes I head over to reddit to compare and the articles posted there will only start to gain traction 1-2 hours later.

Reddit changed their algorithm. I remember when it came to a boil almost a decade ago. They said they experimented with some changes to the algorithm but they changed it back. Somehow the front page slowed down to a crawl. I don't know that it ever changed back.

Maybe this article is right and the algorithm is failing under the weight of upvotes, or maybe they tweaked it to better steer conversation, or maybe it's just broke. Either way, I quit watching the front page long before I left Reddit for good.

I remember that day, and no it never got better

I wonder what in the hell the suits see as 'the benefit' of never fixing it

The tech was becoming too good at empowering people. Too many regimes were falling too fast. Thankfully we're in control this time
