Oh, now that is good news! It looks like the community has been quiet/mostly inactive for a while, but has 3x the subscriber count as that other community! I’ve subscribed, and I’ll see what I can do about helping to make it more active!

Mods on the Star Trek communities on StarTrek.world will delete (and ban you) for even the slightest negative opinion about the show Star Trek Discovery. Even if you say that you dislike the show, or that you think the writing is sub-par, or anything slightly minor and inoffensive, poof! Your comment is gone, and you’re banned.
It’s not a rule in the sidebar, which is most frustrating, too. All you get is “not constructive”, even though there are plenty of complaints about other things, some pretty abrasive. But one unadoring word about Discovery, and you and your comment vanish without warning.
I see mastodon users here once in a while. kbin users, too!

i remember that, at the time, it was considered extremely graphic for its depiction of certain themes and story elements. parents made an issue about it, and I had to buy the original game with my parent’s consent from behind a counter at my local computer store. If you’ve ever played the game or read the book, you’ll understand why. I can’t really explain it without major spoilers. It’s a really dark and fucked-up game.
but, that’s why I don’t know if these counted since they’re only unpopular now due to them being somewhat obscure and old. they were all pretty popular back in the day.
i don’t know if this really counts, as they were super-popular in their day, but I like re-playing several PC games from the 90s that most people today wouldn’t know of or, perhaps, remember.
a few others
More than a year of war has changed Ukraine forever — but it is also reshaping Russia, with opinion starkly divided on what should happen to the country after the conflict.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is hoping its borders will be expanded and his own grip on power will be strengthened. Many outside Russia are pushing for a future without Putin, in which Moscow will never again be in a position to invade its neighbors.
But some Russians themselves are calling for a restructuring of the country and a rethinking of Russian national identity — often at great personal risk.
Ruh-roh, bad news for Poopin!
