One thing that I think would be nice would be to have a true plethora of custom star trek emojis available for us to use here. (Perhaps this is already a thing and I just dont know about it?)

I think having the ability for users to post an image (and a name for the potential emoji) for consideration for emojification would be quite enjoyable (especially for the risa community). Of course, there would need to be an Emoji Science Officer who has responsibility for the emojis, both for creating emojis themselves and adding emojis suggested by users.

Logistically, this would depend on the admins either acting as ESO or vetting and appointing an ESO from the userbase. There would also need to be an emoji reference resource, maybe a pinned and locked megathread with every emoji in it?

This is, of course, a suggestion, and only applicable if the admins both desire this and have time to deal with being ESO or vet and appoint an ESO.

I don't know if it's just me, but I've been experiencing quite a bit of sluggishness and errors (failure to post, failure to mark as read, failure to fetch comments, etc), my feed seems to get stuck for long periods of time without updating, and any time I try to open my profile view, it can take a full minute (it might be partially due to how many posts/comments I have). Sometimes it's taking 5-10 attempts to successfully upload an image to post. Is there anything going on?

If it makes a difference, I've been on mobile and using Voyager.

StarTrek actors have a strong showing across the Hallmark movie offerings this year.

— Mira Kirschner (Amanda Grayson in #Discovery and #SNW) is the principal in a romance about a woman discovering her Jewish heritage in a 2022 movie ‘Love, Lights, Hanukkah! that will be rebroadcast this year.

I finished watching The Orville, it was a masterpiece from the hands of Seth Macfarlane.

Here, they showed some exchange between admirals and the main ensemble cast quite often, but watching these certain scenes made me compare them to Star Trek admirals. I personally think all admirals in The Orville are great captains who got promoted to the rank of admiral as opposed to Star Trek admirals who are just dumb politicians where our main cast captains keep dealing with their nonsense.

Of course, there are a few reasonable and competent admirals we've seen throughout the franchise, but most of them I've seen reflect real-world politicians that never even had sat on a captain's seat.

Uggh. As somene who collects physical media this is devastating. Hoping other studios don't follow suit.
