"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?

Jump

  • I see this take a lot, but it frankly just doesn't reflect what I see on the screen. Can you give some examples from the shows that influenced you to form that opinion? I agree DS9 could probably be correctly be considered "dystopian , brooding and militaristic", sure, but Discovery, Picard and SNW are (if anything) cloyingly optimistic and positive!

  • Instead of predicting the future they are trying to force one upon everyone.

  • FOSS land is always going to be populated by freaks and geeks. The well socialized devs get jobs at Google. It's impressive the "system" works as well as it does, IMO. Passion is a big motivator.

  • There is a reason the type of devs who have the talent, passion and time for projects like this are not spending 60hrs/wk at Google.

    • Is This How Reddit Ends?

    Jump

  • The moderator to user ratio on the fediverse is orders of magnitude higher than commercial platforms. Even Lemmy.world (a large, loosely moderated Lemmy instance) has again, orders of magnitude more eyes on its content than reddit.

    This means that even if a chatbot gets invented that is impossible to distinguish form a human, mods will more readily be able to tell if it is pushing a narrative/shilling products.

    • Is Star Wars's treatment of droids and their agency/sentience defensible? How do you think it compares to Star Trek?

    Jump

  • In Star Wars the droids seem pretty ok with their situation as servants. I suppose you could describe Zora in Discovery similarly, but I'm struggling to think of other examples in Trek.
