/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Stamets I love ya you big shroomhead but this comment felt unnecessarily hostile, and I didn't want to be upset when I responded.
You're right that Starfleet does tons of shitty things all the time all across the franchise. Maybe I am being overly picky about what is in line with their doctrine as they violate it constantly, as you've rightly pointed out. Ultimately it doesn't matter. Star Trek can be inconsistent within itself and that's fine.
I just want to thank you for the contributions you make to Lemmy every day between memes and posts. I appreciate you.
I stand by my comment. I'm only matching your tone and energy that you came in with at the start. You attacked the show in ways that were completely unfounded and cherry picking and I merely picked the argument apart. I didn't appreciate opinion being painted as fact. People can not like the show all they want, that's fine. But using opinion to try and color what the show truly is and isn't? I find that unacceptable.
Appreciate you too.
