Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
Engage respectfully with fellow crew members.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry (racism, sexism, transphobia, etc.)
- Disagreeing is fine, but personal attacks are not
Rule 2 — Stay On Topic
Posts should be related to Star Trek: news, updates, official announcements, or meaningful discussion.
- Off-topic content may be removed
- Memes should be quarantined under a level 5 containment field to !Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rule 3 — No Prohibited Content
Some things are not allowed aboard the ship.
- No spam or scams
- No illegal content
- No porn or sexually explicit material
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Is Not Starfleet
You can have your opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek, but forcing them on others is not allowed.
- Everyone’s perspective is valid, TOS purists and Lower Decks fans alike
- Keep debates about canon and quality friendly and inclusive

Imagine we're normal people for a second, the kind that don't spend as much time online as to be deeply involved in stuff like this. You see the reviews coming out about Starfleet Academy, read the generally positive (not glowing) reviews and then decide to scroll down a bit to see what the comments say...
I have seen people complain about all aspects of an openly gay skirt-wearing Klingon. So many batshit fucking complaints about Holly Hunter "disrespecting" the Captain's seat by not sitting up properly and putting her feet on it. These websites' comments sections are like 90% red-faced rants barely making any attempt at hiding their hatred of minorities. Some entertainment news websites are worse than others but they're all generally like this.
There are way fewer comments highlighting things like the occasional plot hole or the really weird choices of background music that doesn't really match the intensity of the scene.
