/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.

FYI, Stamets has left Lemmy :(
Apparently I missed something.
Yeah. He made a post, that he ended up deleting, then removed himself as mod and left.
Not liking this trend, what with FlyingSquid's exit. Damn shame, but if leaving is better for their peace of mind, then I can only hope it's for the best.
Yes, I wish them both well and hope their departure helps their well being.
Something a little less morbid.
Much better indeed
I hope they’re still around, under a pseudonym.
Sometimes you gotta declare social bankruptcy to recenter yourself.
It looks like he auto-deleted everything. I wish he had been able to leave up the last post so we could read it. I suppose we aren't entitled to it but it would have been nice if it had worked out that way:-).
Any chance you can recall the gist? Was modding too much responsibility or something?
In short: Reddit-ification of Lemmy
As in proliferation of lowest common denominator jokes? Because I can see that.
That, and some communities having petty-tyrant mods, and admins of some instances the same.
But... Tenforward isn't that way, and someone can always go elsewhere to other instances or even other platforms - e.g. I'm over here on PieFed:-). I did consider leaving myself if I couldn't block all the political posts from Lemmy.ml prior to the USA election, so I'm glad PieFed gave me the option to stay.
In any case, I hope Stamets finds peace irl by touching grass (and I very much hope he returns someday after that!:-).
Yeah, blocking certain people and instances certainly has made my life on Lemmy better. There is likely more to it than just that. I wish him well also and also hope for his eventual return.
So...reddit
