Hi StarTrek.website, I'm Karim Diané aka Jay-Den Kraag from Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, AMA! (Responding to questions Thursday @4pm!)

~~We're live now!~~
EDIT: Big THANK YOU to Karim and to everyone that left a question!! I think this went really well for our little instance and hopefully can inspire future AMAs all over the Fediverse!❤️
Also because this thread is understandably getting a lot of attention, here is a link to our Patreon. A few people have requested a higher tier, so we've finally added one🖖
Over a million upvotes on this post!
Incredible engagement all.
Certainly an instance record but is that a Lemmy record? Are many of those upvotes coming via other APIs or is it just Lemmy’s
I have no idea where you're seeing a million, I'm seeing 1,300. But that's still very high for the fediverse!
LOL — saw k, thought thousand, wrote million
What I get for posting after an IM, screen heavy workday.
Yes, a thousand is huge, even if an order of magnitude lower. 🖖🏼
This is incredible, my respect and gratitude to those that are making it happen. Also can't wait.
Is that the UTC-0500 one?
I wish more people would use that format. It's much easier to relate to your own time zone.
Depends… I grew up with TV stations advertising shows in Eastern/Pacific time zones while I lived in neither.
I’ve also driven to both of those time zones and can picture how many time zones away they are in my head.
Either one of those is easier for me.
There's an entire world of timezones that aren't the US.
It's easier for you to remember your timezone in +- utc than making everyone else on the planet look up whatever the fuck est is every time we need to.
Well I don’t live in the US, so yeah I know. Anyway, my point is that “easier” is subjective and very much based on a person’s experience.
I’ve looked up UTC compared to my time many times and it just doesn’t stick. I don’t know what the current UTC time is but I could tell you what time it is in Newfoundland no problem. 🤷♂️
You don't need to. Jesus christ.
UTC-3:30
That's all you need to remember to be able to refer anyone else to your time zone to any other timezone on the planet.
lmao thanks for the reminder that there are four timezones which could be called "EST" 😭
(but UTC-5 is the only one properly called that)
30 more minutes! God I'm excited!
+24 hours. But you can still be excited!
Oh well. Guess I gotta be patient. Thanks for the heads up!
We wanted to make sure there was lots of time to accumulate questions, but the Fediverse is unsurprisingly rising to the occasion.
The responses are all live in the thread! Or you can check out the u/karim account to see them all in chronological order (but without the questions, which is...challenging).
This sparks joy in me!
aww well this is kind, haha thank you for your enthusiasm!! i really appreciate it
Omg he responded to me twice! ☺️
