I wonder if they'll tie that directly in to Lower Decks with a Doctor guest appearance.

If you don't like the content hosted on this instance, why do you have an opinion on this at all?

Dr. Erin is canon!

Well, canon-er, since she got a brief name drop in a Lower Decks episode.

I was briefly concerned that they were treating time travel and quantum realities as the same thing, but I'm glad they addressed them separately in Chapter 15.

It was just a point of clarification in case you misunderstood.

From what I can see, you've only participated in this community once, nine months ago.

The other communities (StarTrek, Daystrom, Risa, etc.) are all staying open and federated.

Oh. Okay.

If the concern is that we're going to have a sooper secret, members-only Star Trek discussion group, that is not the intent. If we were going to do that, we'd just make the instance private.

I mean, if we're talking about the sidebar...

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website.

But I do understand and appreciate the perspective. It's in-line with the internal discussion we had when making the decision.

And to be clear, Trek-adjacent discussions will continue to be allowed in Quark's. I just don't think making the community private will be some great blow to the Fediverse.

If it helps, we will allow sales of expired Yamok sauce in c/startrek, provided the seller can produce a certificate of authenticity.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Maj'el - I don't think either the Bell Riots or Cochrane's warp flight are examples of causal time loops.

Thanks for the response.

We'll probably relax the rules on c/startrek a bit to allow a degree of Trek-adjacent content that we might have previously punted to Quark's.

I'm thinking of stuff like the Paramount acquisition drama, which is off-topic but clearly still relevant.

Expanding outward from there into stuff like "here's what Frakes is up to," we approach territory that can be covered just as well elsewhere in the Fediverse.
