Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

    I was arguing with him that Disco wasn’t great, didn’t know who he was, and looked at his history. I stopped arguing once I saw him banning for arguing against him.

      Yikes! If that´s true it is clearly abuse of mod powers to suppress other peoples legitimate opinions and no amount of memes can make up for that …

        Well don’t worry because it isn’t true. @[email protected] has made this blatant lie several times across Lemmy now.

        There is exactly one instance in which he and I ever talked with one another. This is that comment thread. There are a few very important things to note.

        First is that Blue_Morpho was the one who was antagonistic throughout the entire interaction. Second is that I am the one who broke off the argument and left while Blue_Morpho doubled down on the discussion and kept arguing. Third is that it was on Risa, a community I have never been a moderator of. Third is that this was made over 20 days ago which is well before I even created my new community, StarTrekMemes.

        Every single thing that Blue Morpho said to you was a complete lie. He doesn’t like me so he’s slandering me and trying to make me seem like a power hungry moderator when infact he’s an antagonistic troll who can’t let shit go from a month ago.

          Don´t worry, there´s a reason I started my last comment with If that´s true …. I also checked modlog and could not find anything that confirmed the accusation. As long as you won´t bind me to a chair, stick matches between my eyelids and force me to watch DIS instead of my beloved DS9, we are cool :)

      I’m pretty sure what he doesn’t like is people just dumping on it, which makes sense because we’re not hanging out in a place to dump on star trek. Discussion is another thing entirely.

      Personally, I think it had a lot of problems to begin with, and i’m glad they soldiered on through at least for the Spock season because damn did it give our older characters a lot more depth. You know, the depth that you feel in them but wasn’t explicitly there? Makes Spock’s internal struggles and relationships make so much more sense, and sets Pike up perfectly as the absolute idol of all the captains we’ve seen. Like they’re trying to live up to him, each in their own way, but none of them have really gotten to know the guy. Recontextualized the whole thing for me, in a good way. Lots to think about.

      Anyway, i’ve talked about that stuff, and some of the problems with it and that’s the impression I got.
