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?

    The “Empire did nothing wrong” stuff was pretty weird indeed.

      The Plagueis Tragedy even made it huge on r/Place one year.

      Alot of them are living in an empire they’ve been conditioned to be okay with after all.

      iirc George Lucas himself said that Star Wars is an allegory for the Vietnamese (Rebel Alliance) resisting American imperialism (Galactic Empire)

        Oh, some are not only conditioned to be okay with it, but will defend it till their death.

      Ah thank you! I’ve been trying to remember what subbreddit took their villain rp too seriously. It wasn’t all that funny when people just swapped out real slurs and minorities for fictional ones.
