Out of curiosity... why not alt.startrek?

Other than the "not a lot is happening there now", but there's some activity.

The most recent posts on the server I'm on:

    The Lower Decks crossover to live action in Strange New Worlds
    Star Trek Discovery Canceled
    ‘Galaxy Quest’ TV Series in Early  Development at Paramount+
    Jack Crusher is how old?
    Star Trek The Lower Decks S03E09 was everything I wanted.
    (spam - into the kill file that poster went)
    TOS Film marathon
    (crossposted trolling - more kill file material)
    Captain Burnham mob/cops/big city episodes (Star Trek Discovery)
    (crossposted trolling - figured out how to do more complicated rules - "cross posted to more than 3 groups and newsgroups match \.politics\." with this reader)
    (crossposted trolling - even more kill file material)
    Ode to Spot. (this post is from 2012)
    When will the new Star Trek merge with the Twilight movies? (this post is from (2011)
No emoji. No reaction gifs. No memes.

Just text content.

edit: and as I write this, a new post just showed up in the past 2 minutes about Strange New Words S02E01.

So none of the things many people like. I loved usenet back int he 1990s, but the refusal to adapt to what users like to do is a large part of what killed it.
