Star_Trek is a safe harbour for Star Trek fans that may have found themselves on the receiving end of the ban hammer for daring to have an opinion that differed from the power mad mods on Reddit’s Star Trek sub and/or Lemmy’s own StarTrek.website.
You’re safe to like or dislike any show, character, writer, showrunner or episode here.
So come and discuss the greatest sci-fi franchise in history free from rogue mods on power trip.

Go have a read of the modlog on the communities on the startrek.website instance. You’ll see that almost none are justifiable bans and nearly are all for disagreeing with the mod’s opinions or calling them out for shitty behaviour.
It was the same story on Reddit too. The mods here are the same from the main Trek sub over there. There were rumours that they were Paramount employees as they had some control over the admins too. Getting new Star Trek subs taken down very quickly if they were saying too many negative things about the current shows.
If you see the type of posts and comments on my community you’ll see that they are all very civil and are able to share their true opinions without fear of a ban.
At the moment the community is being promoted as a safe harbour for victims of the mods on the other communities but that’s a necessary evil at the moment and we will develop our own identity over time.
This is like the 3rd or 4th star trek community (that I’ve seen) that’s been announced on this exact community, though. All with pretty much the same purpose. Why not just join one of the existing ones?
