    Posting anything about Trump, Biden or any other person in a position of power.

      Sorry, that is not against the rules of Ten Forward. Nor should it be. Star Trek has always been political.

        That’s where I completely disagree. I guess we need yet another new community?

          Do you? You posted a political meme 4 days ago. What changed your mind on politics and that it shouldn’t be allowed in TenForward?

          I guess we need yet another new community?

          If you would like to make one, go ahead. That’s what the Fediverse is for. If you disagree with the rules somewhere and want to make another place, that is totally encouraged by myself and I wish you the best.

            I posted the meme thinking it would make a point but looking back I was totally mistaken. I guess I’ll just move on.

              I mean, you didn’t state a point or make any point clear at all in that post. You just said that you didn’t like my meme where I compared Trump to a Ferengi.

              If you don’t like political posts, feel free to downvote and move on. But we’re not making a rule against all posts about politics just because you don’t like it. If the community is swarmed with political memes from multiple people, then sure we’ll talk about if a rule needs to be added and probably ask the community, but there have been exactly 2 political posts and you are responsible for one of them. That does not even remotely rise to the point of needing a rule about it.

                Fair enough, I’m not really trying to create drama. It seems like we have enough as it is.

          You completely disagree that the TV series which started with a show that addressed the Cold War, Vietnam, racial discrimination and environmental damage back in the 1960s while showing humanity living in a socialist utopia is not political?

          I mean, you’re free to disagree with reality, but I’m afraid that is the reality. Gene Roddenberry used Star Trek to express his political views. He made no secret of it.
