It's something of a mistake to think of the show as being about science and exploration. It features those things, yes, but ultimately it's a show about Morals and Ethics.

Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

MODERATORS
This is roughly the same logic behind my disappointment when Trek tries to be all dark and edgy.
Lucille Ball was a visionary. 🖖🏼
But it's not like that because they have no idea what Trek is about other than it's in space and "pew pew pew".
The only thing I knew about startrek before I found lemmy was that in My Favorite Martian, somebody sees the zoot suit and says "I didn't know you were a trekkie."
Which is to say, not much.
Oh yeah and the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons speaks Klingon. Other than that, nuthin
"Pew pew pew" — er, that’s Star Wars…
Yeah, Star Trek is more like “zap zap”
Frankly, they're just salty they don't (yet).
Also star trek: look at these aliens, they're all sexy. And those ones are super horny and misogynistic.
