/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

J/k I really am grateful for all you do (I just had to poke fun of this post coming from a mod?! :-P)

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only for a couple months and even then... I think I've taken maybe 2 official actions. Hardly counts, but I get you.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Realistically, you are being grateful to the entire community - making posts, commenting and (UP-!)voting on them, having respectful discussions, keeping things civil, and most importantly keeping this a place that people WANT to come to.

And damn yes that's worth celebrating! 🎉😀

(You are btw, again by making this a place that people not only do not dread to click on but actually WANT to visit... again and again 😁)

Really, this is the house that Stamets built. The community at large is why I was willing to help fill in for Stamets and FlyingSquid. So yes, this post is meant for you posters/commenters and not some self congradulatory nonsense. Thank you all.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Speaking of whom, got any word from FlyingSquid?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sadly, no. Dropped off the map. Hope they're doing ok.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn... yeah I hope so as well.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

FlyingSquid left Lemmy entirely. He was having some personal stresses ongoing and social media wasn't conducive to a healthy mindset so he left. Might be back, not sure

I put down the first few bricks but I did not build this house. We all did.

No problem! You know, when i was first approached by stamets, null, that guy, and the maneuver I initially hesitated. Who was I to run such a grand vision? But then i thought about it and i realized, you know what, I'm just making this up.

Thank you everyone and you're welcome.
July the force be with you.

Best little nook on Lemmy!

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

You and me both Buddy... You and me both. Making this place was the best idea I ever had.

There's so much value in this place and I wouldn't subtract any one of you <3

Also, buddy, fairly sure that your love was more than well known considering you are probably the most active poster here lol

When people say they don’t like /c/tenforward this is my only thought:

I need to get back to making stuff, but I am pretty much out of ideas.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Don't have to pressure yourself into making content. Lulls happen.

Inspirado can strike from just about anywhere.

Just do like i do. I only post when someone inspires me. Usually it’s just some silly comment that gives me an equally silly idea. No pressure here though. Less content usually means higher quality content.
