Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I'm getting tired of making generally bad OC (startrek.website)

I've made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I'm either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn't work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I'm just discouraged by the lack of even comments.

So, to tie this all up - is it worth a latinum bar to keep trying to do OC? Do you all even want that (seriously)?

Hey there! I just wanted to say a couple things. First to keep an eye out for Monday as a different community will be replacing StarTrekMemes. Honestly the name is really vague and it doesn't inspire the type of community that I was looking for. After talking with a few other people and posters, we will be opening a new one. Same general vibe though. Star trek memes and shitposts. Just a different banner promoting an actual community and spirit that we can hopefully all get behind. Also way better sounding than just "Star Trek Memes hurrrrrr". I'm not super creative.

However.

I didn't make the community due to having my posts deleted. In fact I don't think anything of mine ever was. I don't want this to stir up drama here either or anything but the community was made directly in response to a lack of rules specifically and things that directly stemmed from that.

Ah! Sorry Stamets, I didn't mean to misrepresent you, my memory is just terrible, heh. Thanks for clarifying.
