So we have decentralised versions or Twitter, Reddit and YouTube? What a great time this is.

They are the same mods from Reddit which are well know for their intolerance to criticism.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

There’s always one that has to take things to the extreme in a pathetic attempt try and prove a point. 99% of people wouldn’t dream of posting the kind of stuff you just did to in an attempt to be what you obviously consider clever.

It should also not go unnoticed that this kind of pro-Nazi post was made here and not in my community. Please stay here.

There’s nothing wrong with the community. The mods however are the same mods from Reddit that banned me for saying that Star Trek Discovery is lower rated on Rotten Tomatoes than any of the series pre-2005. This was labelled as misleading and not constructive to a conversation about the rating various series have from users. When I sent a link with proof confirming my claim I was permanently banned.

I have more examples like people being banned for having the opinion that Kurtzman is the worst thing to happen to Star Trek but suffice to say the mods are the problem and 99% of the community are good people that are willing to accept criticism.

My community isn’t for my “mod authority” it is so people have a place to openly voice their opinions, likes, dislikes and above all criticism without the possibility of being banned because I don’t agree with them.

If someone thinks Discovery is peak Star Trek that’s great, I’m glad they enjoy that much. But also if someone thinks Discovery is the worst thing on TV then that is a perfectly valid opinion too and they should have a place to voice that opinion freely.

Also I’m not sure what you use to access Lemmy but if you use the website via a browser on mobile you can see the mod log. Some removals are justified but others like this one: “The part of confessing feelings was really badly done. It seems like no one in the writer’s room had a better idea at that point and then they ran out of time.” was removed 5 hours ago for “Not Constructive.”

It’s the person’s opinion, a valid opinion too that shouldn’t be removed because the mods don’t agree.

A welcome opinion? All opinions are welcome. I personally don’t agree with what you said but I don’t have to. That’s the beauty of an opinion. It’s not fact, it’s an opinion. And we all know what they say about opinions.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

Look at the modlog. Yes some removals are justified but others are people criticising aspects of the show or writing.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

I’d like to believe you but the modlog doesn’t support your claim. Posts have been removed today for no other reason than they are criticising aspects of an episode or show. That’s the beauty of Lemmy. Mods actions are public record unlike Reddit.

Be Constructive is too subjective to be the number one rule.

Discovery is terrible because it is too far removed from Gene’s vision.

To me that’s a valid point and constructive because it gives a reason I think it’s terrible. But to you it might not be however that doesn’t mean it should be removed. That’s what the up and down votes are for. Let the community decide instead of censoring people.

It isn’t very Starfleet of you.

Try criticising Discovery or Picard seasons 1 & 2.

Like this.

Discovery is closer to woke propaganda than it is Star Trek.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

Well if you think saying woke is a bannable offence then I guess I hit a nerve.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

Why would anyone voluntarily use it anyway?

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

It’s the volume of person data it scoops up. I don’t understand why anyone would happily share that much information just to use a social media app.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

It’s a massive credit to Avery Brooks that the best Star Trek episodes of all time are all Sisko episodes. The others obviously being In The Pale Moonlight and Far Beyond the Stars.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

They’re good but not on the same level as some of DS9’s episodes and Voyager is my favourite series.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

I still put Far Beyond the Stars in the top spot.

The Offspring is a powerful episode but I think The Inner Light is TNG at it’s very best.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

It’s a close call between The Inner Light and Measure of a Man with The Offspring in 3rd and Family a very close 4th.

The built in iOS app.

Ironically you will have the exact same look when you discover what she’s left in your slippers.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

Watch Picard Season 3, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and possibly Prodigy.

Avoid all of Discovery and the first two seasons of Picard. They are the worst Star Trek has ever been and seem to exist for no other reason than to pander to the “we need to be represented” crowd.

47_Alpha_Tango, 11 months ago

Discovery forces in representation for representations sake. It’s not relevant to the plot at all. Like did we really need two scenes explaining that there is a non binary character? No, no we didn’t.
