/c/TenForward: 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.

The Culture. Which is all of the above plus friendly superintelligent AI to run it for us.
Ding ding ding. The Culture is Star Trek ++.
Gene manipulation that's so effective you can just will yourself to change sexes, get stoned, be performance-enhanced, whatever
You never have to work if you don't want to.
It's so utopian most of the stories have to take place outside it, because paradise gets boring.

Earth’s presence in the Federation says we survived. Environmental collapse, wars, etc. didn’t condemn us to extinction. Yes, it got ugly but we made it and we reached the stars. Star Trek gives us hope.

Tell that to the victims of Wolf 359.
Don't be in Starfleet, and don't be a scientist on a remote outpost.
Ok, so remote Federation scientists seem to suffer a lot in ST, but I wonder how much of that is survivor bias. I mean, we can assume redshirt casualty rates are fairly consistent across starships, although that could be a leadership issue; but what if there's a vast population of remote research outposts and only a very tiny fraction ever gets in trouble? We just don't know. The Federation is enormous, and covers a vast 3d volume - if there are outposts even slightly evenly distributed across the surface of that volume, we'd be looking at a large population. More researchers probably die from slipping on food spills than rogue revived eugenics war corpcicles.

usually peaceful interstellar community
Uhhh...
And on the opposite side we have "I'd rather be human trafficed into a nazi concentration camp than spend even 5 minutes in the universe of Warhammer 40K."

Star Trek. I can live on Earth free of the stress of being disabled with mental illness in a capitalist hell. The worst thing I'd have to worry about is some kind of alien invasion that gets thwarted by the crew of the Enterprise from time to time. I'd rather have to deal with the latest Doom Cruiser from Beyond the Stars now and then than have to worry about if I'll be able to afford groceries this month.
"Gay space communism" is my new favorite description for Star Trek.
