If anything, it's still a Doctor Who site, if we're going by "biggest science-fiction franchise", but why would this poll suggest that?

Edit: oh wait because "shared to Star Wars sites". They meant tumblr blogs.

That poll broke containment real real quick in tumblr then, as it pops up on my dashboard a lot and no one I follow is Star Wars or adjacent at all lol.

There's a guy at a customer's IT that regularly wears a Rebel Alliance hoodie. I've been wary of him since I first saw him.

In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.

Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.

Star Wars shirts are a lot more common for cheap in stores like Walmart, to be bought on a whim. Star Trek shirts have to be specifically sought out online or at conventions or something, and tend to cost more.

That's why I, a trekkie, own more Star Wars shirts than Star Trek ones.

I think part of it is also that a random stranger in a star wars shirt can be anyone. A random stranger in a star trek shirt is a nerd, and therefore more likely to be a cool dude.

Here, I'll copy/paste it.

With Imgur and Reddit having all the silly restrictions, I'm not sure why more people don't upload their images directly to Lemmy?

I really don't understand why a user base predisposed to Lemmy is okay with using a proprietary centralized service that isn't globally accessible. I might understand it if Lemmy didn't support image uploads, but it does.

It's like you're not okay with your text being censored by private corporations and governments, but here, take my images and please make sure some people can't see it.

I get that some probably have muscle memory for certain services but it just seems like the majority here don't even care to unlearn it.

Probably just habit. Or maybe a bot account?

I'm in England, so maybe the government have blocked it πŸ‘πŸ˜­ Sign of things to come I guess

Yes exactly, you can walk up to anyone in a Star Trek shirt and by simply saying the phrase "favorite captain?" you'll probably have a new friend two hours later.

Since the red shirt draws all the fire they'd be safer than anywhere else.

I always feel bad for uploading anything here because I feel like I'm wasting precious space. Yes I know it probably doesn't matter at all but still.

The only Star Trek or Star Wars shirt I currently own is black with yellow gold lettering saying "Star Trek" in the Star Wars font. I think it makes some people uncomfortable. My S.O. hates it. I think it's hilarious and I know immediately what type of "nerd" I'm dealing with based on people's reactions to it. I suspect most people don't realize it's a joke or they are worried that I don't know it's a joke.
