The StarTrek.website instance has nontoxic and active community with views - and of course one of the longest running franchises to discuss.

There’s even a great where to start post along the lines you’re looking for.

Now naturally other stuff exists, and we even have a place to discuss that over at /quarks.

Appreciated sincerely!

The moopsy appears in Star Trek Lower Decks S4E2 ‘I have no bones, yet I must flee.’

Sorry She-Hulk didn’t work for you.

Won’t ask what put you off but suggest seeing it through to the end.

As someone who read the comics it felt very comic-accurate while adding in the clearly feminist perspective of its creator/showrunner. Basically, it took a female action hero created by men and gave her ownership by women.

All of these platforms skew male, white, heterosexual, older etc.

It’s a major concern when AI’s are using them for training data. Or, when studio executives take them into account in decisions about what to greenlight.

Reddit is actually relatively better balanced at 2/3s male. Review aggregator sites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb are more heavily male.

I’m finding the conversation on Lemmy more civil, but unconscious bias is a thing.

For me the feeling happened first when I saw Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley was going to be the survivor in the original Alien.

Now, movies conceived and produced by men starring female action heroes are their own trope and don’t have the same impact.

She-Hulk however gave me that joy. I hope Marvel looks at the actual viewership numbers of She-Hulk and the success of Barbie when making a decision on a second season.

I believe we’ve seen the same analysis.

The old cable model made Comcast the arbiter of an ecosystem, with streamers competing against one another, the model fell apart. It’s interesting that smaller players like Paramount and others are collaborating in some markets (e.g., SkyShowtime).

StarTrek.website is an instance dedicated to the Star Trek franchise.

It is a solid, well functioning medium-sized instance, and the largest one specific to a particular show, movie or franchise. It was created by mods of related subreddits.

It’s communities cover Star Trek television shows and movies as well as tie-in books, comics, games and merchandise. It also has a general discussion (off topic) community.

Unfortunately, there’s increasing evidence that the streamers are saving cash and reducing net streaming losses by not producing new content, while not having to worry that their competitors are out producing them.

For AMPTP, this is a deus ex machina that gets its members out of the trap of dreadnaught-like extraordinarily expensive competition.

Eventually, they won’t be able to buy existing content to fill their schedules and subscribers may find other things to do without new content, but for the moment there are incentives for them to drag out the strike.

This would be ideal.

It doesn’t really help to enable factions if they don’t have a mechanism to chat internally. More there’s a need to be able to reach out to ask unknown someone what they’re up to without escalating.

Given that it’s not always easy to search up and private message someone new on another instance, and some don’t want to use Lemmy’s insecure messaging, a direct link to a secure chat would be a huge help.

xuv and others working on the StarTrek space were able to connect and collaborate using a thread I set up on the StarTrek dedicated instance. I saw that working for c/Canada on Lemmy.ca and emulated. That doesn’t work for all however. (And as it wasn’t stickied in the main StarTrek community, not everyone saw it in a timely way.)

It’s reloading but I don’t think you can drop pixels anymore.

I’d like to see a second season of She-Hulk too.

Both were daring in different ways. She-Hulk managed to at once be the most mould-breaking and the most comic accurate show Marvel has developed for streaming.
