The Federations source for all Star Trek news, updates, and discussion.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
Engage respectfully with fellow crew members.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry (racism, sexism, transphobia, etc.)
- Disagreeing is fine, but personal attacks are not
Rule 2 — Stay On Topic
Posts should be related to Star Trek: news, updates, official announcements, or meaningful discussion.
- Off-topic content may be removed
- Memes should be quarantined under a level 5 containment field to !Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rule 3 — No Prohibited Content
Some things are not allowed aboard the ship.
- No spam or scams
- No illegal content
- No porn or sexually explicit material
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Is Not Starfleet
You can have your opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek, but forcing them on others is not allowed.
- Everyone’s perspective is valid, TOS purists and Lower Decks fans alike
- Keep debates about canon and quality friendly and inclusive

"I dislike social commentary ... I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other" does not seem to appear in the current version of article that's linked to. The source appears to be vocal.media / futurism. In context it does look plausible that he might've really said it — but it was 8 years ago.
