  Wasn’t the issue with this one that money was changing hands in exchange for a printed, physical book? Like, I know the team wasn’t making money, but it’s understood in fanfic circles that this is a Bad Idea and this was a very high profile (and, sadly, professional-looking) project.

  The work is now on AO3 alongside countless other Star Trek fanfics that exist with no trouble. If they’d done that all along, I suspect there would never have been an issue.

  I couldn’t finish it. Really dreadful.

  Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there’s essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because “X” is silly and ugly and you’re cross about the cute bird…

  and because Elon is a narcissistic fuckboy, natch.

  Yeah, but you can’t make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won’t go. You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.
