Seems like the best thing to do would be to run that on a daily schedule and also ideally something done in the ui. I worry for those admins that just “followed the recipe” to get a Lemmy instance up and running but lack any real sysadmin ability.
I think theres probably a big overlap between the novice admins and the instances where the admins are unaware they are getting flooded with bot registration.
I don’t hate it. It makes room to tell new “old” stories without just completely dismissing canon. The idea of a “fixed point in time” is a concept that I think originated with Doctor Who. The Strange New Worlds concept is similar, but instead of a fixed point its a fixed event or fixed outcome.
I do wonder though, how much of this “time pushing back” is actually that? Or is it actually just the “Federation Time Cops” from the far future making sure things happen even if someone successfully meddles with history. I actually kind of hate the concept of time travel being a thing in Star Trek. Leave it to shows like Doctor Who.
