/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.

I have to believe that it can get better.

Will it have a chance to get better?

I wish I shared your optimism.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't confuse optimism for desperation:-)

But Star Trek is a great example of what can come after e.g. Bell Riots.

We learn and grow through pain.

You seem to have missed the global nuclear war that happened between the bell riots and shiny space communism.

Wouldn't mind avoiding that, though it seems like thats getting more and more probable.

Things might get better, after everyone dies for stupid bullshit, but that's hardly a comfort.

Well, I did say after:-).

All that we can hope to do is to give it our best shot.

Edit:

Maybe. But not for a long time. Probably not in our lifetimes.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Sigh... yeah.
