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?

Why is the show about gay space communism popular on the gay space communism network?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

quark might be bisexual, true, but he is definitely a capitalist... but we won't hold that against him

You decide to talk about bisexuality and DS9 and somehow your mind goes to quark instead of fucking Garek??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

garek is amazing and he is the best boy <3 i only said quark because i was commenting more on the socialist/capitalist topic from the previous comment :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Quark is also one-time transgender, so I guess that counts as genderfluid, although we prefer not to talk about that episode.

For a ~~show~~ franchise about gay space communism, it's not very gay at all.

They're happy most of the time.
