/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Actually, emojis have the same function, non verbal communication has in spoken language. So what English can't capture is expressed by tone, gestures and facial expressions; or, in casual written language, with emojis πŸ—Ώ

Yeah! My boy's name is CODPIECE. You use it right

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why the hell did you name your kid codpiece?

Imagine Odo or Kira's face when they first get an emoji laden communication from starfleet.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Kira's "I'm fucking done with this/you" face and Siskos "I'm ending this before it starts" voice are the best emotes on that show.

Well, 2nd and 3rd behind Garak's "I judge thee fuckable, let the arguing commence" grin.

Wait, does that mean chatgpt emoji-laden slop is actually deep and complex thoughts being expressed? Exploding head.
