MODERATORS
The Fediverse is not like email, it's more like the various BBS networks of the 80s: Tons of anarchy, chaos, StarTrek, politics, lunacy, StarTrek... and cool as hell.
Please keep it this way.
BBSes did have a weirdly prominent Star Trek thing going on in the late 80s/early 90s. I never thought about it enough to see how weird it was other than figuring it was mostly nerds being nerds (in a good way).
I have zero problems with Trekkies. If anything, they're a welcome community, the sci-fi is hopeful and idealistic, it's positive science fiction.
Oh, I don't have a problem with Trekkies at all, and I am very fond of the Trek memes on lemmy, but it was almost certainly not nearly as "normal" as I thought it was back in the day.
Had a lot of Tolkien handles on our BBSes as well haha.
