Hey there! You may recognize me as a mod over on !TenForward@lemmy.world, a Star Trek-themed meme and shitposty community. We love having our fun and hanging out but we’re also not averse to some serious discussions or news as well! While it is always allowed in TenForward, we realize that there might be a better place for it.
Recently, a group of us had a chat. The mods of TenForward as well as @GuyFleegman, original creator of /r/Risa and /c/Risa, and @Tenthrow, mod extraordinaire and the owner of !StarTrek@lemmy.world. We all had different (and some same) reasons for wanting to start a fresh Trek community that was a bit more serious that what we currently had access to. So after some work (and this late posting by me), we have reopened !StarTrek@Lemmy.world!
As mentioned, we hope to make the place more inviting and welcoming for Star Trek based news as well as Trek themed discussions and debates. We also plan on posting regular discussion ideas as mods and highly encourage everyone to participate and to post your own questions too! Nothing gets a Trekkies warp core revving like a good bit of theory crafting.
Beam on over and check things out! Shields are currently down and no nebulae in range so don’t worry about interference. Just pop on over and join in on the fun!
I honestly don’t know if Daystrom would do all that well on Lemmy. You need hardcore fans who are willing and able to come up with a plausible explanation for the most ridiculous things in Star Trek and that just doesn’t seem to be a thing here.
Which is fine with me, I don’t need that to talk about Star Trek. I’m happy saying “I guess the writers didn’t think about that.”
Daystrom, at least for me, was fun to occasionally dip a toe in, but it was way too stuffy to stay there for any real length of time.
Anyway, to change the subject, I’m another mod on c/StarTrek and I would like to invite you to all come by and check us out. I promise, we keep the salt vampire in the brig and I’m sure there won’t be any sort of unforeseen power failures…
