It's like a secret dialect to unlocking conversation with people who are nerdy and struggle to maintain a conversation. Once you are aware that the IT guy/gal you are talking to has seen Star Trek then you don't need to reach any further for other conversation topics.
Just to expand, even if you don't watch Star Trek, asking if they think "Deep Space 9" is worth watching will yield you hours of socialising.
I've not had to deploy this technique for a while because eventually I watched Star Trek and loved it. Now I'm one of those people lol.
Because socialism and this platform is not skewed towards the centre-right/fascism
Star Trek is a utopia. Why wouldn't we wish to live there?
You're absolutely right, there should be more Stargate, Firefly, and Babylon 5 content.
Man, it seems like it might fall to me to start carrying the torch for Farscape on this platform.
I know some of you weirdos prefer your scifi full of Muppets and bondage gear.
Funny you should mention Farscape, I've only now started watching it (I somehow missed it when it came out). I still prefer Vala Mal Doran, but I'll take any show with Claudia Black.
Haha I had a similar experience this year. I knew of Farscape when it was airing, but I was much more of a Stargate fan in my teens. Saw it was streaming earlier this year and proceeded through 2 seasons and some change before it was made unavailable on the streaming platform I was using. I need to obtain the rest of the series so I can begin cranking out the memes.
To be clear, the weirdos who prefer their sci Fi with Muppets and bondage gear is me. I'm weirdos.
All classics, but The Expanse has them beat.
Can confirm.
I’m currently watching SG1 while drinking whisky out of a Starfleet cup. More of all the sci fi and they can all exist together!
So say we all!
Indeed
Hey, watch it buddy
There's an entire Star Trek instance (startrek.website) that followed the /r/daystrominstitute community from reddit during the Exodus.
Well I guess that explains why that instance has all the turbo pedantic Trekkies. /c/tenforward on lemmy world is where the fun fans are.
I have absolutely 0 star trek content in my feed.
Yup, same here. Using "All" is a shit show, and I never subbed to anything startrek related.
I'm sorry.
Use the voyager app or webapp. You can block communities and keywords.
I do block communities and keywords, but like i said there is a lot of star trek content in non-star trek comms as well, and the keywords thing doesn't help if the post's image is the only thing that mentions star trek.
Need more LEXX: The Dark Zone
Star Trek is popular among left-wing turbonerds, aka Lemmys primary demographic. There was also a big push to join Lemmy on r/StarTrek after Reddits API controversy.
What? I don't remember ever before seeing anything about Star Trek on Lemmy. Then again I only look at things I am subscribed to normally.
These kinds of "why is there so much content about $topic on $platform" questions always have the same answer: we have no idea why you are getting exposed to whatever you're getting exposed to.
I agree. Star Trek.
Wtf are you talking about?
I wish I saw that much Star Trek content.
Block Linux and pervy anime and you'll see a lot more star trek.
I would also like more pervy anime.
Guys, am I doing Lemmy wrong?
What about pervy Linux?
I slip on my fingerless hacker gloves, open my terminal emulator and give it the pipe |
If you like pervy anime, star trek and speak German you're home.
c/tenforward
I'm already subscribed there :)
You on risa too?
Ah shi- that's the one I was missing. New account who dis and all. Thank you lol
And don't forget about startrek.website
I was just thinking there isn't enough Star Trek.
That's what I signed up for.
