The mod seems to be having a day :’(
Its Star Trek heaven, where you’re literally forced to kneel and sing the praises of your Lord Trek for eternity or be banished.
StarTrek.website is a cult

/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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

MODERATORS
This exact type of shit started the chain of events that got me banned from r/startrek. I'm glad Lemmy makes it easier to escape this bullshit.
"Be constructive" is a purposefully nebulous rule he can use to remove anything he doesn't like
Well, now, they have enshrined forever in the mod logs, a record of their abuse, the URL to the images that prove it, and an invitation to come here. They have been foisted on their own petard, haha!!
Edit: awww :’(
Direct hit, captain!
"They're firing LASERS."
Holy shit removing those top two in particular is absolutely inexcusable. They are constructive. They're quite detailed and respectful in their criticism.
We've got this community, but someone needs to make a generic Star Trek and a Daystrom community outside of that instance now.
Be the change you see in the world!
Edit: !startrek@lemmy.world exists as a sister community to this one, btw!
Be the change you see in the world!
Literally can't. My instance doesn't allow user-created communities, and it would not make sense as the host instance of a Trek community anyway.
!startrek@lemmy.world exists as a sister community to this one
Neat!
But looks dead. Hopefully people will start using it now?
Fair enough. I have wanted to create a new DaystromInstitute, but I’m already the mod of a Plex community that I let go to hell 7 months ago because of an ongoing life event, and I’m certainly in no position to start another community, let alone mod it. (I have modded a few Reddit communities over the years, and it’s a lot of work, often not fun).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The other community doesn’t get much traffic because everyone just comes here, even though traffic should really be split between the two, and this should mostly be a meme/shitposting community.
I just posted this comment on the same post on that sub. I wonder how long it will take for the Mod to remove it
At this point, how long til a ban?
The pissy mod took the bait and removed the comment, but now the mod log will forever have a record of their abuse and an invitation to come here!
Q’plah!
It been a half an hour, and it still stands, currently with 10 upvotes.
Hmmm…
Edit: comment removed plus a 30-day ban for “drama”. Awww :’(
Startrek.website is a cult
That's giving too much credit to the website and Value Subtracted. It's more like an afterschool church group that had too much sugar.
Dude is 85 different levels of pathetic but rising to the level of cult leader? He'd have to have intelligence and charisma for that. Intelligence? Well he can repeat things others have said so at least parrot level intelligence but charisma? Lol
Ohhhhh…
This is where everyone went. The Trek content on my feed had seemingly dwindled down to nothing recently!
Also, as someone who’s already been brutalized by Abrams, those Treks will be skipped as I continue this journey.
Welcome to the judgement-free zone, where we have fun and don’t live in constant fear of mod overlords!
You’re allowed to have opinions here. The one big rule is that you’re just not allowed to be a dick. Have fun!

Stamets is incredibly boring. It's like the writers came up with "let's have a guy who's gay and crazy" in their initial outline and forgot to fill in the rest of his personality. Idk what Culber even saw in him. Representation needs substance or it's just pandering.
The other Stamets is amazing and one of the most important people on lemmy.
The character improves on the last seasons.
Not by a lot. But enough so that it interacts well with the other people that pop-up in engineering.
But being a dick is Jellico's whole thing!
Even Jellico is allowed here, he has his own series now.
These are the only communities you need:
The communities on startrek.website are so dead now I feel kind of bad.
"Though our enemies crowd around us, we tread the blessed path!"
~ A Star Trek character, probably.
Sounds like Martok.
You're saying it wromg
Wow, I saw that comment, thought it was hilarious. Good thing this community exists.
At least they weren’t so petty as to erase the following conversation, which, if I may say so myself, was reasonably substantial.
To paraphrase the great holo-novelist Tom Paris, "It's the mod's private community, you're just living in it."
Fediverse, more like Fiefdomverse, amiright?
I'd hate to see it with the safety's off
Any suggestions on a different instance to move to? Preferably something smaller. I switched from world to this one because of outages during the Rexxit or whatever the hell it was called.
Well, that was almost 9 months ago. Things have stabilized now. Lemmy.world is fine. I like lemm.ee. There are plenty of others if those aren’t to your taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I recently moved to lemmy.dbzer0.com due to the admins/mods at startrek.website.
If you want something smaller try blahaj.zone or sh.itjust.works.
You can come to yiffit.net
…if you’re into furry porn and being defederated from a lot of major instances…
Not judging, but the defederation thing seems impractical
... fucking furries
Yes, that's what yiffing is about: furries fucking :D
It's the sound you get when you rub two foxes together.
Few people hate furries more than ex-furries leaving the community in disgust over all the degeneracy.
Source: I am that ex-furry.
LMFAO what
Back in the early 90s I was active in the furry community, helped write parts of the codebase for FurryMUCK and FurryMUSH (I was a bearkin), and attended several of the early 'mini cons' that were piggy backed on mainstream events like Dragoncon.
Then in the early 2000s it started to get... weird.
I mean cons were always a hookup place for nerds, but if you were in a fursuit after then 90s it was different.
In the 90s if you were wearing a suit and hooked up with someone, you took off the suit and if things went well, had some fun. Furries and non-furry con-goers were pretty well distributed as hookups, everyone mixing with everyone.
But again around 2002 the whole scene shifted, people started asking 'to leave the suit on', and furries started to self-isolate as hookup partners, insisting on only partnering with other furries.
I mean by no means did I have my finger on the pulse of furry culture at the time outside of my MOO gameplay, and this shift was a big surprise to me.
Then the disgusting stuff started happening. A lot of groping, like a LOT. I mean anywhere you have cosplayers you will have some of it but DAMN was there a huge difference in number of events. People leaving their rooms covered in shit and diapers were nearly always in the furry camp.
Then was the sales of CDs filled with actual bestiality porn being run out of people's rooms. That was the breaking point for me.
I had never really considered my fursona as a sexual entity, it was just an extension of me that let me have fun pretending to be something else for a little while. Once every prospective partner requested 'suit on', I was done. Around 2006 IIRC.
And I've watched the community get even more and more depraved, and you have no idea how angry it made me that some bestiality loving shit fetishists ruined a once wonderful community.
Take my upvote, you said it bro or lady
