/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Thank you, the Niemoller quote tends to get overused a lot, but it's vital that people understand it. The world described in the quote isn't theoretical, it actually happened. It's based on his experiences, because he was silent.
I agree wholeheartedly. I suppose I'm just getting more and more tired of fascism as I get older, but people need to speak out more when they see injustice. Don't let fuckin Nazis off the hook, call them out on their bullshit. You don't have to be polite, you're dealing with people who want to and are actively trying to exterminate you. Tell them to fuck off! Others will join.
I don't mind overusing, repeating or restating things that are important ...... it works the same as advertising ... the more you repeat something, the more cemented and reinforced the idea or image becomes in a person's memory and thoughts.
The information may be old and familiar to you and me but hopefully it may catch the attention of someone who has never read it before.
Think of it in the same way we identify Coca-Cola, a drink that many people in the world know as a famous soda brand .... instead of advertising for sugar water, I repeat information that can at least change lives .... and save lives at its best.
Keep pointing out the wrongs of our world .... I'm calling out as much as I can right next to you.
