/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

MODERATORS
There are several communities like https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/newest that are riddled with prescription drug and direct links to pirated content. It has died down recently and it looks like someone or something* has been pruning them, but there's still several links that haven't been scrubbed. I mean, I'm just speculating about who/what is cleaning up, because there's been no administrative communication about...well, anything lately.
I mean, I love the guy, he has been nothing but kind to the userbase, but he's spread himself way too thin and the cracks are really starting to show. There's no oversight, and that is bad. Because some dumbfuck is gonna post something really stupid one of these days, and that instance is gonna get a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons.
I don't know that I would call four posts by one account all at the same time several days ago as "riddled." I wholly agree with your second paragraph.
There was a lot more than that. Last time I checked (a few days ago), there was a ton of spam that was posted over the past three weeks. Some of those 3-week old posts are still there, which is a long time for content to go unmoderated. And people have been applying for community owner and mod positions to help out, they just haven't been approved yet.
Fair. You're not wrong; I'm just trying to be as objective as possible.
I know that it can be crazy hard for a person who has built a "thing" to share administrative control of that thing, even when circumstances demand it. It took me a good long time to come to terms with that.
