/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.

Yeah, what's going on with Stamets? I saw someone say he made a post about leaving the other day, but I looked through his profile and found no such post.
What little I've picked up is that the combination of life stress and social media induced stress came to a head. So they cut themselves loose and left. It's a bummer, but I hope doing so will help them be well.
Aw man, that is too bad.
I hope wherever he is he finds some peace and feels better. It is a rough time out there, I hope my sending positive vibes finds him, even if it isn’t much.
For whatever it’s worth, this place has been a massive place of comfort for me and that is in a large part because of them. I went through the shit for most of last year and had some breakdowns and this community really helped.
And you too ummthatguy, you’re awesome and you’ve made me laugh so many times. I couldn’t think of a better member of the community to help mod it, thanks for all you do.
@[email protected] isn't entirely wrong. I've been dealing with some shit for the better part of the last year. It is also my birthday in a few days and while that's a celebration for other people, it's a severe stressor for me thanks to some past trauma. I overreacted. That's why I deleted the leaving post. I'll probably be back. Might be a couple weeks. Might be a month or two. I don't know. I'm just struggling and adding in the extra stress of Lemmy is a straw I just can't handle.
Not likely I'll come back in a moderator capacity unless directly asked. There's no reason for me to be on the team. Everything runs smoothly and sufficiently without me and I'm not egotistical enough to be like "I WANT THAT GREEN M NEXT TO MY NAME AGAIN".
Hope that helps to you, @[email protected] and @[email protected]
Thank you for thinking of us - you rock dude!
I am both sad to see you take time away, combined with very happy that you are doing precisely that, bc it will help provide what you need and it's great to see you be proactive like that. Be well my dude!:-) 😎 💪 And then enjoy coming to Lemmy again (naw, fuck Lemmy, I mean Ten Forward!) instead of dreading it :-).
They will be missed.
And don't diminish your own contribution to our little hub.
How far we've all come. Hell, you even stopped calling me Kevin.
Wait... is it "they" or "he"? I thought Stamets self identified as a gay man? Have I been doing it wrong by saying "he"? It's fine if you are just aiming for generic, I'm just focused here on if my usage was wrong, but if both are acceptable then that's cool too, I just wanted to confirm.:-)
I was being generic. My policy is to abide by Bill & Ted's Law: Be excellent to each other.
This extends to include minding chosen pronouns. That aside, I find it acceptable to use they/them/dude/guys as terms that cover whoever, per context.
Yaaas queen! 👑
(Like that!?! :-P)
Bingo.
Good for them. Sounds like me with Facebook in like 2016. And then Twitter when Musky bought it. And Reddit mostly when they killed 3rd party apps. Come to think of it, social media mostly sucks.
Same - he seems to have deleted the goodbye post and left the Fediverse even before that post had time to be federated around to the different instances. :-(
