Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I've made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I'm either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn't work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I'm just discouraged by the lack of even comments.

So, to tie this all up - is it worth a latinum bar to keep trying to do OC? Do you all even want that (seriously)?

Make posts you think are funny, and post them so people who agree with you laugh.

No one actually gives a shit about upvotes. Its a millisecond dopamine spike. You will forget the successes in hours. Let them pass you by, alongside the dungers.

Make things cause its fun and funny to make them.
