TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Alright, I’ll bite.
I’m a bit surprised that anyone would bother to note a downvote, let alone dig deep enough to investigate who downvoted and then specifically call them (me) out in the comments. It feels over the top and borderline malicious.
As to why I downvoted in this case, two reasons:
Lastly, I don’t know why someone would ever be so invested in up- or down-votes at all. It’s not like the fediverse has the Reddit concept of “Karma” or whatever one wants to call fake internet points. It’s disappointing to have a negative total on a post sure but it’s completely ephemeral and irrelevant to one’s life.
I think you're overestimating how much effort I put into checking, but I shouldn't have bothered to reply on it (removed).
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Might be easier for different platforms.
On Lemmy/Voyager it doesn’t seem really feasible but perhaps it’s more obvious elsewhere.
1). "His lordship" is actually a pretty common way to refer to your spouse in third person, it's a cultural joke to the extent you can even get mugs of it on amazon. It's not actually a pet name, he doesn't get called that irl, just online so a better phrase would have been sobriquet or moniker i suppose, but my brain was still coming online in the morning
just because you don't understand something is not a valid reason to shit on it
just because a conversation occurs that you don't like is also not a valid reason to shit on it.
The world is much, much larger than you are.
It’s a downvote, not an insult. This whole conversation is a tempest in a teapot.
