Lol, we do both post a ton and love Star Trek, but I promise we're different people. The thought of trying to double my contribution to Lemmy as one person sounds daunting.

I can't speak for Stamets, but I source most of my stuff from other sites like Twitter or Tumblr. I don't like using reddit out of principle, but I know a lot of their stuff gets circulated elsewhere, and I have taken from some "best of" reddit content when trying to help jump-start some small niche communities here.

I also make a bunch of memes now when I get the chance, mostly for Risa lately, but also for a handful of other communities I really like.

Multiple hamsters in a trench coat masquerading as a Star Trek fan

It's actually seventeen hamsters masquerading as four to seven star trek fans

Stamets doesn't love Star Trek. Star Trek is about taking joy in exploring new life and new cultures. Stamets met a nonbinary person and said "that's transphobic" because he didn't understand it.

Stamets went off about how I'm a troll and transphobic because I'm dronegender in this thread:

He then logged onto his alt and posted this:
