/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I think it would be very difficult to shut down a federated community and probably not worth it.
Even though these media companies do prosecute pirates on occasion, I have believe for a long time that they actually don't have the problem with piracy their PR teams make it sound like they have.
After all, piracy drives up publicity for a show with people beyond pirates because the pirates will watch the show and, theoretically, talk about why they like it on places like Reddit or Lemmy. Which would result in increased revenue for them.
The pirates were not going to buy anyway and everyone else is going to be encouraged by the pirates talking up the show. And the companies must know that, which is why Lemmy piracy instances will be fine and why the only pirates they usually prosecute are the ones serving a huge number of files.
