It's also important to note that our LD crew are all bridge crew. We've seen that they have shifts at the helm and engineering/science/ops stations regularly, so putting them in charge really isn't that big of a stretch if the senior staff need to be off-ship for the more important role of the mission. They're basically babysitting the Cerritos and fending off hails from Starfleet.
To play it all out: why the heck is Nick Locarno flying around in a little ship capable of disabling the systems on larger warships, transporting(?) the ships and crews to some planet while leaving wreckage behind?
He's not. He's making deals with the lower deckers of those ships to make it look like his ship can do all that. They say in the episode that the lower deckers of the kidnapped crews are disabling the shields and weapons. Then he makes off with the crews and some of their technology for reasons yet unknown, abandoning the command staff on planet Knife Rain to fend for themselves.
You can literally just Google "phone in bed fire" and find article after article after article about it.
I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.
💯 this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I've had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.

Everyone who cares about their instance and the fediverse as a whole needs to defederate and block their instances as soon as they pop up.
Definitely a problem that needs solved sooner rather than later, but I assume with a lot more eyes on ActivityPub now, people much smarter than I will have a solution.
Since it's based around a show, Trek as a whole is in a show lull until Thursday. The folks who normally run the weekly content posts have already migrated over. There has been half a dozen attempts at replacing r/startrek with versions of it not run by that mod team and all have failed to gain traction, so good luck to anyone trying to do that. They run a tight ship and make it one of the more enjoyable subs on the site.
Trekkies have existed in groups in one form or another since Usenet and BBS. Moving to a new technology is nothing new to us.
That being said, 250 users in 1 day (they didnt get it set up and actually open until last night) is nothing to scoff at.
Edit: As of now (2am ET on Wednesday) they're at 800+ subscribers to the mainsub. That's-- not bad at all.
Both can peacefully co-exist. There's a market for folks who like micro blogging and a market for deeper reddit style discussions. Them being able to talk to each other is a bonus.
