The best Star Trek community on the internet. Next Episode
Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 6 | Lost In Translation. Airs July 20th.
Rules Be polite We can all agree on how great Star Trek is but that’s probably
the only thing we will all agree on. Respect other people’s opinions, even when
they differ from yours. Feel free to share your thoughts You are completely free
to share your opinions on the various Star Trek series. You will never be banned
for saying how much you dislike a particular episode or series. Unlike some
other communities we are tolerant of your opinion. Be aware of spoilers All
discussion about new episodes will be confined to the weekly discussion thread.
After a week spoilers in new posts are fair game. But please wait 7 clear days
before openly posting spoilers. Have fun Above all, have fun while you’re here.
Live Long and Prosper
Your opinions will never be removed from the community. Even if you say you don’t like a particular series, character, writer or producer.
There’s always one that has to take things to the extreme in a pathetic attempt try and prove a point. 99% of people wouldn’t dream of posting the kind of stuff you just did to in an attempt to be what you obviously consider clever.
It should also not go unnoticed that this kind of pro-Nazi post was made here and not in my community. Please stay here.
A welcome opinion? All opinions are welcome. I personally don’t agree with what you said but I don’t have to. That’s the beauty of an opinion. It’s not fact, it’s an opinion. And we all know what they say about opinions.
I will say right here and now, without hesitation or equivocation, anyone engaging in bigotry in this community will have their posts comments/removed, and they will very likely be banned.
No one is going to be banned for their opinion that any particular iteration of Star Trek, new or old, isn’t very good though. That would be silly.
I’d like to believe you but the modlog doesn’t support your claim. Posts have been removed today for no other reason than they are criticising aspects of an episode or show. That’s the beauty of Lemmy. Mods actions are public record unlike Reddit.
I didn’t say posts wouldn’t be removed, I said no one was going to be banned.
There are still community guidelines which need to be met, including a requirement that criticism be constructive. It’s literally Rule #1 on the sidebar. Just dashing off some spicy take and not elaborating further doesn’t clear that low bar, but for people for whom that’s the sort of communication that they’re looking for, it sounds as though your community would be right up their alley.
Be Constructive is too subjective to be the number one rule.
Discovery is terrible because it is too far removed from Gene’s vision.
To me that’s a valid point and constructive because it gives a reason I think it’s terrible. But to you it might not be however that doesn’t mean it should be removed. That’s what the up and down votes are for. Let the community decide instead of censoring people.

We teach children the basics of critique in junior high English classes. Or at least I assume they still do; it’s been a grip.

That’s not criticism, that’s a thought terminating cliché which leaves no room for discussion of the relative merits of Disco because of some nebulous ideas you’re assuming a dead man had.
Do you similarly believe that “The Undiscovered Country” is terrible? William Shatner has claimed that Roddenberry saw the film two days before his passing, and after telling everyone it was good went home and phoned his lawyer, demanding that they remove many of the movie’s more militaristic elements.
According to Marina Sirtis, Gene Roddenberry would have hated DS9, and said “No” when the idea was presented to him. Rick Berman has disputed that, but Berman’s accounts of how much Roddenberry was aware of even the initial pitch and character sketches have varied considerably over the years.
It isn’t very Starfleet of you.
Is it particularly Starfleet of you to complain about things being “woke” as I see you did in another comment?
Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. Disco is simply another combination of the elements that make Trek. It doesn’t have to be to anyone’s particular tastes.

You didn’t answer the question.

That’s pretty wack.
