Some impressive gymnastics going on with the guy you’re replying to…
What I remember people saying about Enterprise at the time was along the lines of “hadn’t they learned their lesson with Voyager?” 7 of 9’s outfit was an embarrassing thing non-trekkies would point to when characterizing Trek fans as “virgin nerds”.
On Reddit we actually had a rule that it was OK to ask “where do I start” or “how do I get my friend into Star trek” questions because someone would inevitably complain about “this again”. As if:
I never got much into the comics, anyone with experience know if these are a good place to start?
Get you a show who can do both
He’s not really dead. As long as we remember him.
It seemed fine to me…
…oh my
Honestly I’m just glad someone is out there doing this work
Heck yeah! Love when people share this kind of stuff.
I’m pretty sure baldness is not a medical condition…
I will be dead in the cold cold ground before I ever type “/s”
I know it sounds insane but I swear to god BlueSky has astroturfing accounts on Lemmy. Every conversation (including yours here) about BlueSky is met with countless Sealions either saying it “will be federated soon” or asking “Why does federation matter?”
This is very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Everything now is rage-bait designed to get more clicks
IMO the greatest strength of the Fediverse is the increased number of mods and admins looking at everything. Don’t want rage bait? Join an instance that has rules against it.
Additional PSA to admins not running a “universal free speech” instance- if you see someone someone being obnoxious it’s probably annoying your users just as much as is is you. Don’t put the onus fully on users to curate their experience. The Fediverse needs our adults in the room!
Always wanted one of those!
This is an excellent thing to wear in public and wait for other Trekkies to notice.
Happy to help! I would love it if you report back, we used to get 100 “How do I get a friend into Trek” posts/day on /r/StarTrek but very few follow ups on if it stuck!
