Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

Of course not. I don't care if someone doesn't like Discovery. I just don't like it when people are aggressively and needlessly insulting to it. If people phrase their opinion without attacking people who like it, or the show itself, then I really don't care. Say how much you think it fucking sucks all you want. It means I probably won't interact with that person as much personally but it's their opinion. It's their right. Honestly I cannot stand DS9 at all for a decently sized list of reasons. Do I expected to be downvoted whenever I voice that? Sure. But I don't expect to be removed. I share the same courtesy to people who dislike the thing I like.
