Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

Star Trek is just bad. Just bad.

People keep recommending it, I kept giving it chances.

During the pandemic, I even went to IMDB, picked the very highest-ranked episodes of all time, and watched them, the supposed best-of-the-best, and they're just awful.

I'll give you a hint, the joke I want to make about it is not allowed on my instance.
