I don’t love the TOS one. The “everyone met as cadets at the academy” is Abrams, not TOS. Only McCoy and Kirk go way back like that.
But the DS9 one captures the vibe perfectly.

/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.

Is there a reason there's no BNW?
I assume it’s several years old.
Ah. That makes sense. LD may be relatively new, but they do have, what, five seasons now? I'm getting old, I guess.
Yep. They missed that one. And Picard.
Yes, all of these at once.
No way. Everybody in LD is highly intelligent and competent... and has no professionalism at all.
Yeah, Lower Decks is full of competent people, they're just literal cartoon characters and everything is played up for jokes. But as seen in the crossover, their real selves are a bit more toned down.
Not to mention that they did what none of the other shows even got close to: They proved that artificial intelligence can have a consciousness beyond just hardware and software.

They created an AI that ascended to a higher plane of existence.
Nah, DS9 is much better described as a polycule.
All in unison: He's Black Jesus
Now do Dukat.
The creepy guy that Kira's mom referred to as "Uncle Duke."
Make Cardassia Great Again!
Accurate except for the LD one.
"An unholy bastion of mediocrity." Man, I want that on my tombstone.
It gets more accurate the more recent the series.
Though I would argue the LD cast has one standard-issue braincell and they all have to share
It's definitely very Tumblr, that's for sure
It needs to go deeper, and ask the tough questions!
Laughed, don’t care about accuracy
VOY fucking got me
Negative, captain
Sure, an argument like that could be made. I guess…
