Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock
629 readers
197 users here now
Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This 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 Cargo
Some 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 Trek
Posts 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.

I appreciate the tough love honesty there and also the supportive words.
I'm taking digital privacy seriously so the money made off my information is not used to fund fascism. It's extremely hard to do. I've offered to help others but people just don't understand.
Even if you just use another email that sells data, it's still better than everyone using gmail. I cancelled Amazon Prime, deleted Facebook, deleted a ton of Reddit posts back to 2013, deleted unneeded accounts, deleted Spotify, avoid YouTube except on shared family TV, avoid IoT in my house, and lots of other measures. I'm also working on a self hosting project.
This stuff matters. Best to stop giving your information away. Get away from big tech as much as possible.
I do think realising that connection the capitalism-big tech-fascism blob is really important.
Especially as it gives you multiple targets.
You can boycott big tech. Amazon, netflix, meta etc. that, if enough people do it, weakens their power.
Likewise, realising that you are a resource that powers their machine (they need you more than you need them). That can be physical labour or the data and information you provide them with.
Frequently they take without asking too. Turning off those pipelines puts the power back with you.
Nice.
