    The mod seems to be having a day :’(

    Its Star Trek heaven, where you’re literally forced to kneel and sing the praises of your Lord Trek for eternity or be banished.

    StarTrek.website is a cult

    Edit: awww :’(

      This exact type of shit started the chain of events that got me banned from r/startrek. I’m glad Lemmy makes it easier to escape this bullshit.

      “Be constructive” is a purposefully nebulous rule he can use to remove anything he doesn’t like

        Well, now, they have enshrined forever in the mod logs, a record of their abuse, the URL to the images that prove it, and an invitation to come here. They have been foisted on their own petard, haha!!

      Holy shit removing those top two in particular is absolutely inexcusable. They are constructive. They’re quite detailed and respectful in their criticism.

      We’ve got this community, but someone needs to make a generic Star Trek and a Daystrom community outside of that instance now.

          Be the change you see in the world!

          Literally can’t. My instance doesn’t allow user-created communities, and it would not make sense as the host instance of a Trek community anyway.

          !startrek@lemmy.world exists as a sister community to this one

          Neat!

          But looks dead. Hopefully people will start using it now?

            The Star Trek community isn’t very busy yet, but we are trying to make it more so.

            As far as Daystrom, Lemmy doesn’t have enough totally hardcore fans to make it work. You need people who are not only willing to pick apart Star Trek down to the creative atoms, but also to find absolutely impossible explanations for ridiculous plot points.

            Daystrom is definitely not a place for me anyway, but I just don’t see it being a Lemmy thing at this point.

              Ok I don’t know why, but I swear when I clicked that link earlier it was showing me the most recent posts were 8 months ago. It’s fixed itself now, and looks pretty good!

            Fair enough. I have wanted to create a new DaystromInstitute, but I’m already the mod of a Plex community that I let go to hell 7 months ago because of an ongoing life event, and I’m certainly in no position to start another community, let alone mod it. (I have modded a few Reddit communities over the years, and it’s a lot of work, often not fun).

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            The other community doesn’t get much traffic because everyone just comes here, even though traffic should really be split between the two, and this should mostly be a meme/shitposting community.

            The pissy mod took the bait and removed the comment, but now the mod log will forever have a record of their abuse and an invitation to come here!

            Q’plah!

            It been a half an hour, and it still stands, currently with 10 upvotes.

            Hmmm…

            Edit: comment removed plus a 30-day ban for “drama”. Awww :’(

      Startrek.website is a cult

      That’s giving too much credit to the website and Value Subtracted. It’s more like an afterschool church group that had too much sugar.

      Dude is 85 different levels of pathetic but rising to the level of cult leader? He’d have to have intelligence and charisma for that. Intelligence? Well he can repeat things others have said so at least parrot level intelligence but charisma? Lol
