There’s another community on another instance apparently run by the same people who run r/startrek on Reddit and they can be…zealous to say the least.
Is this community going to allow people who don’t like some bits of Star Trek?

There are tons of things to dislike about Star Trek, just as there are tons of things to love about it. I’m curious, though, what don’t you like?
I’m not a fan of Discovery or Picard and that “flavor” of new Trek. If you had criticisms or negative comments about anything it could get you banned on r/startrek if you didn’t go above and beyond to justify it.
Go take a look at https://startrek.website/post/225 and see how the admin reacts to comments they don’t agree with.
To me, there’s a very striking difference between say The Next Generation and Discovery, namely, how they handle exposition.
The senior staff of the Enterprise-D gathers in the conference room off the bridge, one character presents new information, then the department heads give their take on what they just learned. Maybe Crusher will point out the humanitarian angle, Worf will provide savage pragmatism, Troi will ask if the space dust is sentient, and Picard will synthesize all that into his decision. But the other purpose of these scenes is to bake exposition into natural character dialog.
On the Discovery, three characters stand in front of a console taking turns giving a single thread raw exposition, then comment on how cool science is.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I think Discovery is unwatchable trash.
