It’s 24XX, who the hell is still getting bent out of shape about homosexuality 400 years from now?

I'm pretty lukewarm on Discovery, I've seen all of it but most episodes only once, so maybe I just don't remember it. Who got bent out of shape over Stamets and/or Culber being gay?

Of course Janeway made the right choice. Anyone who says otherwise is either trolling or sexist. No one would care if it was Picard splitting Guiker or Sisko splitting Quira.

People don’t hate the episode, they hate the “debate.”

What a lovely episode.

I saw a fair amount of skepticism across the Fediverse about how musical episodes are always bad and annoying, to which someone would always respond "well, Buffy nailed it." Apparently the SNW writers feel the same way, because "Subspace Rhapsody" isn't just a homage to "Once More With Feeling," it's a love letter. They may have swapped the demon for a subspace wedgie, but they kept the idea of using music to force the characters to confront their feelings about each other, and they even threw in a bunny callback.

10/10. I hope SNW maintains the tradition of a theatrically silly episode near the end of each season as long as it runs!

So you're saying you want a serious Lemmy instance with Star Trek news and in-depth analysis... that's full of shitposts and jamaharon?

PC player complaining about the cost of a PlayStation is new to me. Isn’t it normally the other way around? Isn’t a PS5 about as expensive as a decent GPU alone?

Hey man save some memes for the rest of us

You gotta spread these out a bit, also don’t forget to stay hydrated

I for one am having a lot of fun in this place. Small communities which are growing and changing are the most fun. The distributed nature of this platform means that I bet we all have a lot to share with each other.

Other Communities

I game a lot and so far of all the gaming communities I've found, the one at Beehaw is my favorite. In one month I think I've discovered more interesting indie games there than I did for the entire past year on Reddit.

I also run a few home servers mostly for Plex and home automation so I've been digging the Self Hosted community over at Lemmy.world. It seems just as knowledgeable if not more so than the equivalent communities I left behind.

Apps

As a former Apollo addict, thank god Voyager exists. I've been dabbling with Memmy as well, but Voyager just goes right down my existing dopamine pathways and I keep coming back to it. Didn't like Mlem at all, which is unfortunate since the name and icon are great.

What have you found out there?

Welcome to startrek.website's fourth community, Quark's!

This community is a general off-topic zone for the insightful and good looking explorers of this Lemmy instance. Why make an off-topic forum for a Lemmy instance, you ask? As you are probably already aware, this Lemmy instance is different from most as we are phaser-focused on Star Trek. But the fans are just as an important part of Star Trek as any other part, so we want to provide a place for Trekkies to be Trekkies together as we embark on the adventure that is growing the Fediverse together.

Put differently, if the rest of this instance is the rest of the station where we are all "on-duty"—talking about Star Trek—together, this community is for having a blood wine, Aldebaran whiskey, or even a root beer together.

What kind of stuff might you chat about here? Good question! Some examples might be...

  • Lemmy and the Fediverse at large. What are your second, third, and fourth favorite instances? Have your found fun Star Trek or sci-fi content on other ActivityPub based services such as Mastodon or Pixelfed? Have you found an app you like? Talk about it here!
  • Other sci-fi have you been reading, playing, and watching? What do you recommend? What book is your all time favorite? What game did you get in the Steam sale that you can't stop playing? What show are you binging that almost interfered with keeping up with Strange New Worlds season 2?
  • startrek.website itself. Young platforms and new communities love to talk about themselves; some people are into that and some aren't. We're scoping that kind of discussion to here so it can be easily found or ignored depending on your desires. More to the point, sometimes we need a place to talk about startrek.website itself. Information related to downtime, instance upgrades, and important security updates will be posted here.
  • Anything within reason and good taste, really. It's an off-topic forum!

The one rule is don't make Odo come down here, i.e. don't be a jerk. We're converting all your tabs from latinum to Fed credits so drinks are on the house. And of course, this is more suggestion than rule, but don't get sucked into a conversation with Morn. You'll be stuck here for days.

This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see.

Hi, mod of a community on the instance in question here. Why is this response harmful? What should we have done instead?
