/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.

(a part 2 I guess, if it's not too annoying?:-)
Also, Reddit may have corporate enshittification, but Lemmy has tankie enshittification, which is arguably far more dangerous to us both. After seeing all the political stuff here before the USA election, promoting genocide bc that would lead to destabilization of Western society, I'm somewhat soured on it as well. I don't know the likelihood, but if I am literally killed in the next several years, shot by either rioters / protestors or the backlash from law enforcement, it will be primarily because of disinformation campaigns on both traditional and social media platforms that are directly and 100% to blame (tbf, probably Lemmy is too small to have had much of a direct effect:-).
And likewise if Canada (and/or Greenland and Panama, etc.) are annexed by the USA, it will be bc the voting populace knows only what the authoritarians have deigned to allow them access to be able to know - which yeah fuck spez, but they do like 1/10000000th of the amount of filtering that Lemmy.ml does. And now even Lemmy.World seems to want to force mods to allow "flat earth" style comments?
TLDR: nothing's perfect. We try to live in spite if it all. But yeah if there's something I can do to be more friendly to people on this sub - I guess those using Connect? - then I will try to do so. Thanks for letting me know if that's the source of the issue for you, bc again with all of the methods I've ever used personally, I'm still not seeing what you are seeing.
