Welcome! It's a bit slow around here compared to reddit but the vibes are chill. π
I love cbu3 leaning into the Phoenix as their mascot, glad we're finally getting the coil version as a mount.
That aspect of ffxiv is one of my favorite things about it - there's almost no fomo / season pass shenanigans (outside of pvp). I've been playing since the 2.X days and the way everything is designed around playing at your own pace has really made it easy to enjoy over the years.
I hope they never stop producing these, I need a full shelf of xiv lore.
Both types of discussion are welcome here - if this ever grows large enough that we need to split the "hardcore" crowd into their own community, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
The REAL real tragedy would be losing r/shitpostxiv π€£
Daily might be a bit much, but I'm looking into a way to set up episode discussion bots for both here and !gundam@possumpat.io. I think two series, one episode a week might be a good starting place?
In the meantime, feel free to run whatever discussion threads you like though!
Media criticism is welcome here, so long as everyone is respectful. Art is inherently subjective - people are going to like different things for different reasons, and it's okay to say you didn't enjoy something.
I'd discourage low effort discussion though. Instead of saying "Voyager sucks" let's try "Voyager didn't work for me because it was too episodic" (not a criticism I personally have, just an example).
I'd suggest reviewing the posting guidelines in the sidebar, and if anyone gets nasty or you see harassment feel free to file a report or shoot me a DM.
I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.
Nothing much in there yet, and I need to set a banner, but it exists!
I'm focusing my instance on some niche topics that I find interesting, here's what we've got so far.

I was first introduced to Trek many many years ago by my dad - I probably owe most of my sci-fi fandom to him growing up watching TNG, DS9 and later Enterprise. If you asked him though, he is probably a bigger fan of Farscape and Stargate. π€£
