In practice, I agree with you. The transporter scans, disintegrates, and reconstructs the thing being transported. But when the thing being transported is reconstructed at a subatomic level it is effectively identical.
I can imagine the society we see in startrek having already worked through the moral and philosophical implications. I would have loved to see that addressed in an episode tho.
I always thought the least believable part of transporters was that they worked without a pad on both ends.
I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.

I've been using nearlyfreespeech.net for (looks) 14 years now. Their business aligns with my ideals and I've always been happy with their service.
I'm not even convinced at $3/mo he won't be in the red.
Same here. If they'd have just framed it differently and put the onus of paying for api access on the users (at a modest fee), almost none of the backlash would have happened.
Then I'd still be oblivious.
I prefer the world the way it was before all the consolidation. I like the ideals of the fediverse and want it to succeed.
Relay user here. I love Relay. Dbrady is the best. And I have no problem supporting him at $3 a month, but f* reddit after all this. I'm not giving them a penny.
Change is hard and can be confusing. If the community remains open and helpful hopefully a real push can be made towards taking sites like Reddit down a few pegs.
Thanks. I guess I was being impatient. It's not the most intuitive interface to have a search come up empty with no indication that I should wait or come back later.
This one gives me a 404 and doesn't come up in search.
I wonder if there's a technical manual out there that tries to explain it. It seems like energy manipulation is something startrek tech excells at.
