okay THIS WAS A BLAST thank you for all the questions! i am so sorry i couldn’t answer every single one i have to run to set now but feel free to dm me on IG @team_karim if you want to ask me anything else and i’ll try my best to answer!! 🖖
We’re live now!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🖖
Is that the UTC-0500 one?
I wish more people would use that format. It’s much easier to relate to your own time zone.
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.
30 more minutes! God I’m excited!
+24 hours. But you can still be excited!
yoooo, a celebrity on the fediverse? let’s goooooo
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!
thank you!

Sorry I’m late guys, i’m locked in now! About to go crazy responding to all these questions lol
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?
This is the thread for questions!
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!
my first time on the fediverse but i love it here! might not be the last you see of me here.
Is this Lemmy’s first celebrity AMA?
In episode ‘2F09’, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something?
Let me ask you a question. Why would someone wearing a shirt that says “Genius At Work” spend all his time watching a childrens TV show?
Do you like cats?
tbh no

Hello Karim,
eventually you will go onto Fan Conventions. Have your costars given any words of advice how to navigate real world fan interactions?
Please ask Robert Picardo about his experience at Dragon Con. Had a great chat with him about his voice work when I met him. Would love to have you come someday and hang at the Pulse Bar!!!
Yes! Robert Picardo and Michael Dorn have expressed how lovely and friendly the star trek fanbase is. Tawny Newsome said the same thing. I’m excited to dive in. the internet is cool but I’d really love to meet more of you in person.
Here is a selfie with Tawny and Eugene at Dragon Con a few years ago.
It’s one of the few cons celebs can party in anonymity or not. We just want to party with all our fellow geeks, nerds, and fans! Its a whole different vibe from SDCC
Aw, the camera messed up your face. At least it got them right. 😉
Mid teleport
Amazing to see this!
What’s your favourite Star Trek (can’t say Starfleet Academy)and how did you end up here?
i love the 1st jj abrams movie. like… LOVE.
How did i end up here? on the 'verse? met u/Admin in real life and they asked me to come and i said hell yes.
Hello Karim! How does it feel to be the first (or at least one of the first) celebrities to do an AMA on Lemmy?
looooool! It’s an honor!! 🖖
Hi Karim! It’s amazing to have you here answering our questions! You interact so much with the fans, and it’s amazing to see a community be created in real time through your interactions with us. I’m loving your preformance as Jay-Den, cementing him as one of my favorite Trek characters of all time. I’ve got a serious and a silly question!
- Jay-Den breaks some serious barriers in his character arc. How similar are you to Jay-Den at the core, and is there anything from your own life that you translated into Jay-Den?
- If you were in the Star Trek universe, what would your position in Starfleet be? Would you choose to be in Starfleet, or pick to explore something else? Basically, tell us about your Star Trek self-insert character, if you’ve thought of one! Thanks so much for reading and answering our questions! Can’t wait for next week’s episode too!! LLAP!
jay-den and I are very similar. i think we both act VERY differently than how we look or are expected to be. i am a soft, gentle man and I believe that translates to Jay-den.
if i was in star trek personally, i would not be in starfleet. i would be an entertainer of some sort, on stage, or maybe in bartender on the ship
Don’t misunderstand me, I’m incredibly excited that you’re doing this AMA on the 'verse, but I’m curious why you chose this over reddit?
also: Are you going to play the voyager game that was released today?
why not? What are you trying to say about the 'verse?! are you not worthy?! I think this community is cool af!
As for the game, with my shooting schedule i have zero time for games, but i might in the future
Where you a Trekkie before you got the role? If so, what’s your favorite show/movie?
