I feel like this place has gotten super mean-spirited lately. Maybe I'm just dropping in at the wrong times but I feel like 80% of the posts and comments I see are backhanded references or jabs at some part of the community and most of the rest is TOS stuff I don't understand that for all I know is also being nasty to somebody.

Does it really have to be like this? I'll leave that to you lot to figure out. Maybe a split is in order, or part of the commagazine will just vanish and never make another Trek joke again.

Also somecritter lemme know if the Disco-Risa/NonDisco-Risa split happens 'cause I kinda still wanna be in one of them. Or maybe both, as long as the fighting quits.

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously. Risa is a community for shit posting and jokes. We are allowed to make fun of ourselves here.

I agree with MrPoopyButthole. We're unserious here but we tend to not put up with actual maliciousness.

Is only joke. Why you heff to be mad?

I have often found humans require the ability "make fun of themselves" in order to derive pleasure. For their species this is normal and you should not find it disconcerting.

Their entire species is disconcerting and I wish I could get away from it.

Good luck with that.

Jack Black is everywhere.

You need to broaden your perspective like when Riker commanded a Klingon ship.

Fighting is fun. Embrace your inner Klingon and tell those Disco lover/haters how horribly wrong they are!
