    There’s literally a post in their front page about criticism with Disco S4 that’s incredibly constructive.

    The issue was never about criticism. The issue was lazy, nonconstructive criticism.

      Hard disagree on that. I was called a bigot for criticizing the plots and writing on Disco more than once, usually with a few grafs of explanation and canon reasons.

      THANK YOU. Can’t stress this enough for the persecution fetish crowd: You are not being silenced because you don’t like new Star Trek. You are being silenced because you’re acting like a twat.

        Keep in mind that posts removed by moderators are visible and documented on this and every federated instance of Lemmy. Please urge your fellow mods to be more professional going forward and improve their de-escalation skills. There is certainly unfair criticism, but some of that criticism has been well earned.

        I’m sure that moderation is a difficult and mostly thankless (and probably pay-less) job, but there’s still a point at which being toxic undoes the positive contributions of a moderator. Please try to use this as an opportunity to build a better community and consider some self improvement as well.

        There is no one among us that couldn’t benefit from personal reflection.

        If you treat people with hostility they will likely react in kind.

        These sentiments are engrained in Trek (new and old), it would be wonderful if we could consider those lessons in our daily lives.
