Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

Well don't worry because it isn't true. @Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world has made this blatant lie several times across Lemmy now.

There is exactly one instance in which he and I ever talked with one another. This is that comment thread. There are a few very important things to note.

First is that Blue_Morpho was the one who was antagonistic throughout the entire interaction. Second is that I am the one who broke off the argument and left while Blue_Morpho doubled down on the discussion and kept arguing. Third is that it was on Risa, a community I have never been a moderator of. Third is that this was made over 20 days ago which is well before I even created my new community, StarTrekMemes.

Every single thing that Blue Morpho said to you was a complete lie. He doesn't like me so he's slandering me and trying to make me seem like a power hungry moderator when infact he's an antagonistic troll who can't let shit go from a month ago.
