The "sacking" of the current moderator volunteers that I've seen in some news articles this morning leads me to the next step, which is if a moderator can be tossed, that's a chilling effect for the next moderator and then, all the people who remain subscribed to that subreddit. I don't know if that will actually happen this way, it will at least be a fascinating exploration to see how this all unfolds. Someone on Mastodon mentioned that Reddit makes no content of their own, it's all volunteers, the public, and their 3rd-party toolset. That they are burning all of it and maintaining that everything will be fine in the end. Smells a lot like bravado and big-talk.

So many first seasons of any of the shows feels a lot like the writers are starting with blank paper and having a huge brainstorming exercise episode after episode. I always give a "hall-pass" to any first season on any of the ST shows. Even if the episode is junk, it often times leads to great "what-if" conversations afterwards. I absolutely detested the first season of Discovery, but after that, I did a 180 and quite enjoy it. Strange New Worlds is the outlier for all of this, that show is a billion bars of gold pressed latinum, but that's just for me.
