Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Unironically, yes. That’s why it’s so great.

This week, a main character reveals a crippling illness that must be kept hidden or else no one will respect them but someone reaches them past their armor and accepts them for who they are.

Next week, oops, we got turned into holodeck characters in a James Bond program and the only way to get out is to play it out until the end.

The week after: a courtroom drama about the rights of an android

All interspersed with the occasional godlike super-being that we'll never meet or hear from again! (Well, in TOS anyway!)

A lot of them show back up in 'the lower decks', which you can't tell me isn't cannon.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really should find a way to watch Lower Decks...

Should be the same way you watch everything else you watch.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah we hear from them a bit more frequently in TNG. Well one of them anyway.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's lucky he's so charming.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He really is though... I love him so much.

Random reminder that this exists with our dashing fellow.

Ooh, I died every step of the way.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Sometimes it’s just the Irishman suffering while running around with a wrench, other days you accidentally change the course of a whole civilization
