Star_Trek is a safe harbour for Star Trek fans that may have found themselves on the receiving end of the ban hammer for daring to have an opinion that differed from the power mad mods on Reddit’s Star Trek sub and/or Lemmy’s own StarTrek.website.
You’re safe to like or dislike any show, character, writer, showrunner or episode here.
So come and discuss the greatest sci-fi franchise in history free from rogue mods on power trip.

I dont trust any community that caters to people that were banned from another community and makes a point to have that as part of their identity. Sure some bans could be unfair but in my experience, people are usually banned for a reason.
If it’s anything like its reddit equivalent, it will just be a place for people who unironically use the words “woke”, “SJW”, and “DEI” as perjoratives. No thanks.
Go have a read of the modlog on the communities on the stsrtrek.website instance. You’ll see that almost none are justifiable bans and nearly are all for disagreeing with the mod’s opinions or calling them out for shitty behaviour.
It was the same story on Reddit too. The mods here are the same from the main Trek sub over there.
This is like the 3rd or 4th star trek community (that I’ve seen) that’s been announced on this exact community, though. All with pretty much the same purpose. Why not just join one of the existing ones?
The drama and polarization of the star trek community on Lemmy is so weird!
It’s really a unique thing, fascinating
I wasn’t a fan of the prequels
Isn’t this why !tenforward@lemmy.world was created?
TenForward was created as an alternative to Risa, although we do allow discussion posts and news and such. For less memery and more serious?
Well we’re working on that ;)
I’m only assuming this one has blackjack and/or hookers.
Gene Roddenberry was a Communist and I miss the Communist ideals represented in his writing.

There aren’t any power-mad mods on startrek.website. It’s okay to just call a community “/c/trek4assholes”

Go say you dislike Discovery or you like Picard S3 and see what happens.
Or just read the modlog. It’s a real eye opener.

Yeah, I had the audacity to say “I prefer new worlds and lower decks vs discovery” and suddenly every comment I made was removed and every new comment I posted including the one asking why they were removed, were removed

I commented that I wanted to move Discovery out of main cannon a few days ago. It was controversial but the comment is still there and it has positive karma.

Where’s the mod log?

Wtf are you going on about? Hating Discovery is the vanilla of star trek opinions.

Haven’t had any interactions with ST.W personally, but I feel tempted to share the testimony of someone who begs to differ (@Stamets@lemmy.world of !tenfoward@lemmy.world): lemmy.zip/post/9940581

If you really need a whole lemmy community dedicated to just you, by all means, feel free to create it. 8-D
