/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.

For anyone who cares, this account gets repeated often, but is completely false. I was founder and top mod of r/StarTrek for a decade and we absolutely had no "hidden rules" under my tenure nor did they as far as I know after I quit (for unrelated reasons in protest of Reddit policies).
What was often complained about is some of our intentionally broader rules like "criticism must be constructive" and "be civil" that were crafted in an effort to discourage low-effort whining (often about Discovery in particular because any mildly-positive post was getting swarmed to death by "just my opinion" bros) and A Certain Type of Person really didn't like feeling restricted by that, but we were always fully transparent about the reasoning behind our decisions and fully understood that our vision for what we wanted in a community meant we wouldn't appeal to everyone.
Well, good to have a contrasting opinion.
I cannot say anything against that, just that what I wrote from my perspective now looks exactly like that, right now on startrek.website.
I don't really care if it necessarily was or was not like that on reddit, in my experience it is exactly like that now on lemmy.
