    We’re live now!

    Happy Dance

    EDIT: Big THANK YOU to Karim and to everyone that left a question!! I think this went really well for our little instance and hopefully can inspire future AMAs all over the Fediverse!❤️

    Also because this thread is understandably getting a lot of attention, here is a link to our Patreon. A few people have requested a higher tier, so we’ve finally added one🖖

          Depends… I grew up with TV stations advertising shows in Eastern/Pacific time zones while I lived in neither.

          I’ve also driven to both of those time zones and can picture how many time zones away they are in my head.

          Either one of those is easier for me.

            There’s an entire world of timezones that aren’t the US.

            It’s easier for you to remember your timezone in ± utc than making everyone else on the planet look up whatever the fuck est is every time we need to.

    Whoa, Lemmy is going places! I never expected to see a Reddit-style AMA to appear here. I don’t have any questions for you, Mr. Karim but I do wish you the best!

      I just want to tell you how much I liked the episode that explored Klingon honor and how that hunting scene kept being recontextualized.

      The show reminds me of Lower Decks in that it’s different but it’s the same. Cant wait to see more.

    Is this the thread for questions?

    What actor from Trek’s past, that primarily wore lots of makeup and prosthetics, do you look up at as a acting role model?

    Oh my gosh! Welcome to the Fediverse!

    We’re kind of obsessed with Star Trek here.

    Um…I don’t have a question. It’s just so cool to see you here. And since Academy is relatively new, I should add welcome to the Trek fandom!

    I hope our appreciation for your art shines through!

        Yeah… I’ll be watching it now. Edit: Genuinely enjoyed the first episode. Only minor science-based or engineering-based gripes, which I will hold my tongue on. I have put up with MUCH worse! :D

    Weirdly, I just thought about how odd it seemed that the fediverse didn’t have an AMA community and boom, inside 24-hours, here’s this post! Very rad seeing this and now I’ll have to add another show to my watch list!

    • Have you been on the fediverse before this account and AMA post?
    • If so what flavor of Linux do you run? :P

    Seriously, even if you don’t see or answer these questions, it’s super cool you’re doing this and I’m glad one of the first on the platform is for Star Trek!
