/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Even Tuvok is amused

Data doesn't even have his emotions chip turned on!

Q is also celebrating!

Are we sure Trump wasn't a prank by Q to begin with?

You are all over Lemmy dog. Do you ever take a break?

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yep. Also, I'm mostly in communities I moderate. Like this one.

Careful as you have scared off a few users. On r/Lemmy you were named as one of the mods and users who were politically extreme.

Not that Reddit holds that much weight but it is something to keep in mind.

[–] FlyingSquid 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I couldn't give less of a shit what people who are still on Reddit think of me. They lost whatever argument they might make by still being on Reddit. I hope they enjoy Google scraping their stupid comments for money.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not arguing the uselessness of opinions about mods, especially on reddit. That said...

You do realize that google, and everyone else, scrape the hell out of lemmy right? This shit is 100% public and the nature of federation means that even if some instances officially have some rules against scraping, it just has to be federated to an instance that doesn't. Only reason the fediverse isn't talked about more in terms of use as training data is that it has significantly less content, not because it isn't being used.

Not OP.

Steve Huffman is a pissy piggy boy because he killed the API (just to sell this now exclusive data for cheap), like his hero Muskie did. Many of us ended up here not because of our data being sold, but because he gated how we can use the platform, besides other weird decisions. There's no monopoly on hoarding Lemmy's data, it belongs to everyone, and everyone can scrap it. What irks me and others is that he claimed it as his property, what is probably right by their EULA, but hasn't been done in years Reddit existed.

I realize that Google didn't pay Lemmy creators millions for the "privilege."

Reddit got paid for YOUR words.

[–] Flummoxed 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wow. Please link to that thread. Squid might not be a moderate, but he would only be extreme to those who support genocide and other fascist crap.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well he isn't the most extreme and is actually fairly reasonable by Lemmy standards. I know that others have complained so I figured I'd bring it up.

Also calling anything you disagree with fascist and genocide is really fair. There is always another side to the story.

[–] Flummoxed 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Who said anything about my beliefs? Way to totally expose all your arguments as just being personal attacks you dreamt about or "heard or reddit."

I was referencing what people who are actually extreme on this platform sometimes actively promote. You need to stop judging people so quickly by what you think you have understood if you would like to be persuasive.

Edit: Also still waiting for a link to that post on reddit.
