Perhaps an alternate route. What about multiple domain names? Throw a variable everywhere where the site name/domain is referenced (links, terms of service, site logo, etc.) And just dynamicly load the name based on which domain is being used. For instance the top logo could be "(%variable here).png" in the code and when viewed on mainchan.com would show "mainchan.png" or if viewed on main.social would be "main.png" (foo.com = foo.png etc) always showing the appropriate logo and site name to the visitor for each domain. It would make it possible to add domains for special occassions or as a joke (go to poo.social to load a joke version of the site with a poo emoji logo, brown dark mode and other poop related crap <-- see what I did there?).
Whichever domain pulls in the most users call that one the official domain and the rest alts. I do think sticking with the Main(something) nomenclature would be ideal though since the mainbros/mainhoes stuff is fun.
Edit: Also random feature request, a toggle in user settings to automatically upvote posts you reply to. I feel like a lot of people, myself included, forget to upvote posts when interacting with them.
The chan is definitely too frightening for a lot of redditors. I was even hesitant to join at first because of the name and the crowd the "chan" implied would gravitate to the site.
Since the David Fravor tictac UAP it seems like we're always on the verge of some grand disclosure that never comes. Whether this stuff is real or government disinformation something profound is happening. Just wish we could know for certain already, one way or the other.
There was a massive influx of normies during the GameStop saga, millions of them, prior to that Reddit had multiple blackout protests for a few different causes that either got results or had more participation than this one. I think the site being overrun with people who don't really care about Reddit like that and just want their content fix has tipped the balance in favor of users who'll just take whatever Spez is dishing out so long as they can scroll r/aww on new.reddit.com like an absolute pleb.
Just my take on it though, the site just generally felt more unified a few years back IMO.
DS9 was the most un-Star Trek series of the pre-2005 shows. TNG was the closet to Roddenberry's vision, and Voyager despite it's flaws and a really bad start with the Kazon arc developed into a refinement of everything made TNG great IMO. That's not to say DS9 isn't awesome in it's own right but there's a very un-Roddenberry strand of darkness and cynicism in DS9 that has plagued the franchise ever since. Enterprise couldn't really even shake it off and that might be what doomed that show. Well that and the theme song.
If I get extremely manic one day I might redesign that table for ya Cicero.
Could use sortable columns and table headers that scroll with the page, maybe alternating row highlight as well. Only if I'm feeling manic though, most days I'm a lazy dev.
Well my hope that the show would go beyond just being mid-tier at best has not been met with this opener. But then when Akiva "Hack" Goldsman's name is attached as the writer that's to be expected I guess. My main takeaways from this episode:
WTF is with the super soldier serum? Never before in Trek has this stuff been mentioned or used. Not even in THIS SHOW's previous season when it could have come in handy or even saved lives multiple times. Why TF aren't all officers carrying a hypospray of this syrum at all times? I'm calling this stuff Bullshit Juice from now on.
Why the holy goddamn hell are they trying to introduce another war arc? Strange New Worlds was supposed to be the optimistic TOS/TNG style show. This whole episode was pretty much darkness that hinged on fighting and blowing up ships.
Pike, the captain of the ship, is in this episode for one scene at the start then fucks off to go see Una. Another first because there has never been a Star Trek show that started a season without it's captain. Pike was sidelined a whole lot in season one as well. I'm starting to think he's a guest star in his own show.
And why the Gorn??? This pre-TOS show is threatening a Gorn war story when Kirk in TOS didn't know that species at all when the Metrons force him to fight one. Young Kirk is on this show. What the fucking fuckity fuck?
This show seems to be getting worse, just when I thought nuTrek couldn't disappoint me more.

Ahh, warm fuzzies I haven't felt since COD MW2 lobbies.

I'd be happy sis had hidden coolness. Then I'd prolly try and rope her into playing some fancy RPG like Mage: The Ascension.
Acronym primer because I, not being a 4chan vet, had to google shit:
NEET: Not in Education, Employment, or Training = Not doing nuffin
KHV: Kissless, handholdless, virgin = also not doing nuffin only sexually

I like the sequel, "Dropping Acid and Going to the Park" as well.
