If there's any interest in carving out a corner of Canvas 2024 in the name of startrek.website, feel free to use this thread to coordinate!

 

I seem to recall a few people who were upset that they didn't know these existed the last time it was discussed.

It was just a point of clarification in case you misunderstood.

From what I can see, you've only participated in this community once, nine months ago.

The other communities (StarTrek, Daystrom, Risa, etc.) are all staying open and federated.

And to be clear, Trek-adjacent discussions will continue to be allowed in Quark's. I just don't think making the community private will be some great blow to the Fediverse.

If it helps, we will allow sales of expired Yamok sauce in c/startrek, provided the seller can produce a certificate of authenticity.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Maj'el - I don't think either the Bell Riots or Cochrane's warp flight are examples of causal time loops.

Thanks for the response.

We'll probably relax the rules on c/startrek a bit to allow a degree of Trek-adjacent content that we might have previously punted to Quark's.

I'm thinking of stuff like the Paramount acquisition drama, which is off-topic but clearly still relevant.

Expanding outward from there into stuff like "here's what Frakes is up to," we approach territory that can be covered just as well elsewhere in the Fediverse.

I'm legitimately curious: what is the appeal of this community to a remote user?

Of all the possible references to legacy characters they could have made, Edward Larkin was not on my Bingo card...

All in all, I think it's a pretty good setup for a season. Time travel nonsense is a pretty big swing for a kids' show, so I'm curious to see how it all plays out.

I think making Dal have a hard time adjusting to student life and not being at the centre of the action makes a lot of sense. As much as he clearly has room to grow, I wonder if there will ever be an opportunity for Starfleet to tailor their material to his personal learning style.

I haven't seen the season yet, but the description here seems very in-line with what we saw in "Picard."

A disturbing number of people seem to be unwilling or unable to curate their feed.

Total Archer move.
