It’s because that sub was basically moved from Reddit to the fediverse.

The nice thing about the fediverse is you can start a separate uncensored star trek sub and they can’t do anything about it (unlike how they got alternatives shut down on Reddit).

Yeah the thing that really pissed me off is how they got r/star_trek shut down. Not only could you not have an honest conversation about something you love on the official sub, when someone makes an alternative for that specific reason they still just can't let people have it. There was a lot of criticism of the r/startrek mods on there for a while, admittedly, but they deserve it. It's pathetic.

It’s because that sub was basically moved from Reddit to the fediverse and resides on the actual Star Trek website. Just proves the rumor that CBS/Paramount has been influencing it all along.

Well shit.

Updated my comment. It does not reside On the official Star Trek website. My mistake. It resides on “Startrek.website” which is not the same as “Startrek.com”.

it’s not a new community, but I just joined the mod team and I’ve updated the community guidelines in this Community Update post. It’s more permissive and, I think, much more reasonable and transparent. Coe on over, and help revitalize the community!

Live long and prosper! 🖖
