Agreed. My block list is unbelievable. As I’ve said in previous comments about this kind of thing: communication is key.
We’re getting zero communication and, if we so wanted to leave, can’t even delete our own accounts on the way out.

Real posts (from kbin.social magazines) are becoming quite rare. I find myself coming to this site now to do the following circuit:
It’s a fascinating case study in the rise and fall of an internet community and digital communication platform. And it highlights one important fact about human community management and technology development: COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
Starting to feel like there’s more SPAM than posts on Kbin, at this point.
I sort by new and comb through reporting “SPAM” and blocking users, but it’s a never-ending cycle it seems and users reported for SPAM are still posting (hence why I block them in addition to reporting the individual posts).
True and agreed. I do still plan to create an account over there soon though. (I’m thinking First Contact day would be fitting, in a way.)
Beat me to posting by 10 minutes. Ha!
(Well, at least 10 minutes as far as I can tell here on kbin.)
Now I understand why they didn’t have a Mudd’s Bundle sale this week.
This Bundle will likely be something I spend my Zen on!
The Market tends to always be a “pass” for me, since it’s stuff I already have from actually doing the events. (Some of) the bundles are tempting at times though. That list is shortening for me, in general. The MMO part of the game has lost its luster for me these days.
“except bundles”
Really? Thanks. Guess I’ll keep my Zen then.
Adding an edit:
I want to also note that Mudd’s Market sales are usually 75% off not 50% off.
No worries. Sounds like it took you four to five days RL. I’m just trying to imagine what it would take (time-wise) for me to make the trip there. (I, too, have a decently engineered AspX for exploration.) :) Thanks for sharing your screenshots!
Sorry, I meant only for the Colonia trip. You’ve only been doing that for a few days now, correct?
(I should have been more specific in my first comment. Apologies.)
How many flight hours (your game time)? Number of jumps?
Oh, got it. I didn’t realize Console had started the 14th so soon.
That must mean that Kael just used the wrong tags (since it’s in the PC news area), rather than a duplicate like I originally thought.
In any case, have fun, Console players! It’s a fun set of episodes so far.
I saw this post too, but it looks like a duplicate of one made in January. Is it not?
It is. I’ve read about that and wondered if it was happening. There are a few discussions popping up about it too, so hopefully it will be addressed.
(I’m also considering just migrating or creating an account on startrek.website. We’ll see.) Thanks for letting me know.
Sorry for the delay in posting my summary; kbin was down. Again.
I mean it’s fine if you enjoy the game, but it really isn’t a good game at all. It’s fun in that it is a way to immerse yourself in Trek content.
This sums it up really well. I also find it to be a fun place to meet up with geographically distant friends who also like Trek. Hanging out in Quark’s while chatting over voicechat is pretty great.
Over at Daystrom, this comes up from time to time. I’ve formed a head-canon for it as well. To quote one of my comments on a thread there regarding the explosions (and the “rocks”):
My understanding is that the “rocks” are a product of the electroplasma system being exposed to air. Whether that is some sort of coolant that is meant to seal the EPS leak in that console or some sort of EPS byproduct reacting in air, I don’t remember or have a head-canon for it.
All of that said, if I form this reply into one worthy of Daystrom, then I say it is an intended safety mechanism to protect the crew against catastrophic failure of the EPS conduits.
So, the consoles are exploding from the failure of the EPS conduits and the expansion of the coolant.
Thank you for putting into words what I’ve been trying to weigh out regarding a Steam Deck.
I think your tech arrangement is similar enough to my own and therefore just what I needed to read in order to convince myself I won’t miss not having one.
That’s exactly the thought I had about it. (The sample return part.)
Perhaps also with a small containment field with its own power supply? Thus the smaller size would allow for more efficient use of such a field, whether by allowing it to be more secure while using the same power as a larger field or to sustain a smaller field for a longer time in cases of general power failure?
Indeed. I’ve heard that from others as well.
I, personally, do not intend to delete my account (yet), but I am aware that it is a manual process. As so much is here, it seems.
I recently made some adjustments to my stuff here and it’s helped a little. (You’ll see the irony momentarily.)
I’ve unsubscribed from most kbin magazines and have subscribed to magazines (communities) from other Fediverse instances instead. Now my feed actually has content and a lack of SPAM. So, essentially, I’m here in name only.
Eventually, all of us normal users will need to ditch this platform because we won’t our names/accounts tied to something that is notorious for SPAM and other illegal activities. Perhaps sooner than later, if the rest of the Fediverse decides to stop federating with kbin.
Until then, I figure at least I can still look through the window at the rest of the Fediverse.
