What if you never connect it to the internet? Surely then it’s a just a dumb TV.

The requirement for a Meta account is the only reason I don’t own a Quest.

I once tried watching them in in-universe timeline order so it meant watching TNG and DS9 at the same time and then DS9 and Voyager. I didn’t get far into it before I decided it was a bad idea.

So now I have just done a full rewatch on release order starting with TOS and ending with Enterprise.

Go say you dislike Discovery or you like Picard S3 and see what happens.

Or just read the modlog. It’s a real eye opener.

I think there’s arguments to made that all of the modern Trek from 2009’s abysmal movie to the present day does actually take place in the Kelvin Timeline.

There’s so many inconsistencies with established canon that can’t all be put down to bad writing.

So Nemesis would still be the most recent events we’ve seen in the prime timeline.

Go have a read of the modlog on the communities on the startrek.website instance. You’ll see that almost none are justifiable bans and nearly are all for disagreeing with the mod’s opinions or calling them out for shitty behaviour.

It was the same story on Reddit too. The mods here are the same from the main Trek sub over there. There were rumours that they were Paramount employees as they had some control over the admins too. Getting new Star Trek subs taken down very quickly if they were saying too many negative things about the current shows.

If you see the type of posts and comments on my community you’ll see that they are all very civil and are able to share their true opinions without fear of a ban.

At the moment the community is being promoted as a safe harbour for victims of the mods on the other communities but that’s a necessary evil at the moment and we will develop our own identity over time.

And something that the mods on startrek.website and the Reddit sub simply don’t allow, often removing negative comments under the “be constructive” excuse.

It’s a similar situation if you heap too much praise on season 3 of Picard and/or Terry Matalas.

And don’t dare try to criticise Alex Kurtzman on their community. I was insta banned for saying that I believe Kurtzman is the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise.

It’s the only one on Lemmy.zip and I can’t say it’s free from the other mods and people are completely free to share their opinions without being the one who sets the rules.

Besides I do have ideas for it to become a unique community over time.

The sheer volume of inconsistencies in Discovery can only be explained by bad writing. Plus the stories in seasons 2 - 4 are shockingly bad.

Just to address your last sentence.

Your behavior in this thread leads me to believe you won't be a moderate mod in comparison but just the same in the opposite direction.

While I do disagree with your opinion and think you come across here as unnecessarily aggressive your post would stay on the community as ALL opinions are welcome. Not just ones that align with my personal opinions.

In fact I’d welcome and enjoy a polite discussion about our differing opinions if you’d care to join the community.

You would be politely asked to reign in the aggressiveness though.

MaddieTian OP , 3 months ago

I wouldn’t ban you for your comments and this post is aggressive too.

I do find it strange that you call out my opinion thinking you’re aggressive and a mod shouldn’t think that and also do the exact same thing yourself.
