There’s another community on another instance apparently run by the same people who run r/startrek on Reddit and they can be…zealous to say the least.

Is this community going to allow people who don’t like some bits of Star Trek?

    Media criticism is welcome here, so long as everyone is respectful. Art is inherently subjective - people are going to like different things for different reasons, and it’s okay to say you didn’t enjoy something.

    I’d discourage low effort discussion though. Instead of saying “Voyager sucks” let’s try “Voyager didn’t work for me because it was too episodic” (not a criticism I personally have, just an example).

    I’d suggest reviewing the posting guidelines in the sidebar, and if anyone gets nasty or you see harassment feel free to file a report or shoot me a DM.

    • Well said Preston! I am here too to help out how I can. I would also like to tag onto this and reiterate what @king_dead@beehaw.org said so well: A lot of online negative discourse surrounding Star Trek is based on the franchises choice to be inclusive and diverse. Any homophobia, racism, sexism, etc will result in your comment being removed (as this is the Possum Patio’s general standard).

      There is infinite diversity in infinite combinations in this universe. We choose to celebrate diversity instead of shy away from it, and hope that any discourse follows this guideline.
