Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.
Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.
So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?
Well don’t worry because it isn’t true. @[email protected] has made this blatant lie several times across Lemmy now.
There is exactly one instance in which he and I ever talked with one another. This is that comment thread. There are a few very important things to note.
First is that Blue_Morpho was the one who was antagonistic throughout the entire interaction. Second is that I am the one who broke off the argument and left while Blue_Morpho doubled down on the discussion and kept arguing. Third is that it was on Risa, a community I have never been a moderator of. Third is that this was made over 20 days ago which is well before I even created my new community, StarTrekMemes.
Every single thing that Blue Morpho said to you was a complete lie. He doesn’t like me so he’s slandering me and trying to make me seem like a power hungry moderator when infact he’s an antagonistic troll who can’t let shit go from a month ago.
Don´t worry, there´s a reason I started my last comment with If that´s true …. I also checked modlog and could not find anything that confirmed the accusation. As long as you won´t bind me to a chair, stick matches between my eyelids and force me to watch DIS instead of my beloved DS9, we are cool :)
Of course not. I don’t care if someone doesn’t like Discovery. I just don’t like it when people are aggressively and needlessly insulting to it. If people phrase their opinion without attacking people who like it, or the show itself, then I really don’t care. Say how much you think it fucking sucks all you want. It means I probably won’t interact with that person as much personally but it’s their opinion. It’s their right. Honestly I cannot stand DS9 at all for a decently sized list of reasons. Do I expected to be downvoted whenever I voice that? Sure. But I don’t expect to be removed. I share the same courtesy to people who dislike the thing I like.
That´s a very reasonable approach in my opinion. Everyone should be free to like or dislike whatever they want for their personal reasons and that is never a reason to downvote, be unkind, turn aggressive or even get banned. In my perception a lot of that kind of unnecessary negativity was typical for -and left behind on- reddit. That´s one of the main reasons I became less defensive and more positive in my communication and never looked back after leaving reddit myself. It´s only natural that different people like different things, why fight about it?
I wish more people would think that way, and btw watch out to not get a carpal tunnel syndrome from posting those unreal amounts of memes!
