/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Seems to be some trouble...
This shit is aggravating. Even had to break out the alt account I haven't touched for months.
That's more like it!!
Maybe not the second part.
No takebacks.
Same here with my instance at Lemmy.ca .... I maintain an Alt account at Lemmy.world
Expedition 60 Data reporting for duty.
So what do I do when my alt (this one) has now become my main? :-P
True, but the coolest thing is it just goes to show another benefit of the fediverse. We're still able to post/comment on here with alts even when their servers are having issues.
Also an opportunity to impersonate someone like a mod or something by making an account on a different instance using the same username of a known user and claiming to be their alt. I cannot think of lasting damage that could be done, but just pointing out that there can be also downsides that we should be wary of.
Pay attention to the domain lol
Same shit with spam emails
That's the problem. If there was a well-known user named "foobar@lemmy.world" and that instance went down, that would be a perfect opportunity for some other random person to create an account named "foobar@sh.itjust.works" and claim to be their alt account that they are using while their main account is unusable. As we can see from this thread, genuine users definitely do use alts on different instances to deal with downtimes like this, so that is a plausible cover for an impersonator.
Fair, some sort of verifiable identity marker, people hate crypto but an nft in your wallet could be used for identification.
Abe Froman... I mean, ummthatguy?
Hmm a very interesting point. And I don't think we want to implement a "blue check" symbol for verified accounts.
I would pay eight replicator rations for Lemmy Premium just to get a lame checkmark by my name.
