Paramount is objectively the better brand, going with SkyDance feels like a waste.

I always liked this one. It’s probably a top three Chakotay episode for me, not that that’s saying a lot. I always love the trope of “not sure if this is the top level of reality” like TNG’s Frame of Mind.

I refuse to believe that the vocal complainers of any fandom are ever anything like a majority (yes they do tend to pee in the pools of any online space they are allowed to pee in making it bad for everyone, but I digress…) However I have a feeling the C-suite folks who only care about money are seeing those complainers on Twitter and Reddit and believing they they represent more of the audience opinion than they do.

This was a sad but honestly refreshing take by RTD, usually folks just say “we love the fans!” and leave it at that.

I mean the answer is literally to just ignore online communities and make art.

I’m sure most creators would love to, but you just know the network execs are coming to RTD and saying something like “Twitter is really upset about XYZ, can you tone down the wokeness?” etc.

Is this a Piefed.social question, or Piefed (the software) question? If it’s the latter, I think any tools that allow administrators to identify bots/bot-like accounts are useful. If it’s the former, I say ban 'em all and keep the instance authentic (while acknowledging that my account is from elsewhere).

That’s disappointing, the theater I went too was almost too loud at times but the boomings and rumblings of the Genesis Planet tearing itself apart were really crazy.

Fake fans, imo. Transporters exist.

We survived the dark age from 2005-2017 (not you, Kelvinverse movies) and we’ll do it again.

The events of Star Trek haven’t taken place yet, but The Historical Documents aired long before that. Presumably some kind of time vortex brought them to us.

“Auto-defederate from any instance defederated by” is a great feature for new admins getting a new instance set up! It’s like forking the experience of an existing instance.

To be fair, the list was made for the 57th anniversary of Trek three years ago.

Data’s Day is the episode I usually recommend people use to introduce TNG to newbies since Data literally goes around and introduces the crew. I’m shocked it wasn’t on Variety’s list!

Great example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that’s a sign it’s time for a Voyager rewatch.

My favorite mod @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website moved here but also fuck spez.

EDIT:

Wow this looks incredible

Why do you say that? They hold no power over us, nor us over them. They can’t control what we choose to store on our own hard drives.
