/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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I don't mind the frequent posting, as it keeps this asylum at the top of "All", but the strip itself is too dark for me. I appreciate it as an art form, but I don't want to read it over my oatmeal.
It is also a bit karma-farmey, this comic isn't new and there are hundreds of it - is OP going to post every single one?
I hope so! I only caught it sporadically on its original run, so I'm glad to have it showing up as an easily digestible daily bite of existential anxiety on my Lemmy feed.
Why not? As others have noted, there is no karma. It's practically a public service.
I get what you're sayin, but there's no point in karma farming here. This is a long time poster, spending a chunk of time adding content that is fresh for, perhaps, 90% of us nerds.
Right but equally there are only nine comments 10 now on the entire thread and only one of them is about the post itself the other is about complaining about the post.
The signal to noise ratio appears to have dropped to about as low as it can get.
It’s hard to call someone a karma farmer when Lemmy doesn’t accumulate your upvotes like Reddit did.
The voting system is just to set view ranking for posts and comments. There are scripts that tabulate votes on an account, but that’s a lot of work that no one else will see.
Lemmy doesn't show it but it is accumulated, from fedia I can see you have over 42k reputation points for example.
And yes, it is a meaningless number. That never stopped people before though.
Maybe there should be a chiefobrienatwork community separate from tenforward? Comics usually do better in a dedicated sub, then people can also ignore it if they don't want that specific content. I've seen a few people bothered by about it now.
Do those people know about the secret feature of Lemmy called "JUST SCROLL PAST IT"?
Eh, leave it at TFW, there's lots of dark humor here. Don't split the party, I learned that from D&D.
