It really WAS that bad. In the finale of lower decks they made fun of the multiverse trope and showed the klingons are actually from an alternate (cringe) dimension.
Star Trek Discovery was so bad it cringed itself out of canon

I wish this was true, but this article is a cope post.
The reality is that Star Trek no longer has a consistent canon. They just make shit up. The finale of Lower Decks was not some plan to make it all connect, it was done for lols so random.

The other side of the cope spectrum "bUt cAnON wAs NeVEr ReAl"
The plot of an episode always came first but there is a very clear and consistent path of progression from The Original Series in the 60's that is maintained within all the way up to Enterprise in the 2000's
Nerds will always argue over the finer details and retcons and all the things that needs are in their nature to do. But there was a clearly established universe with history, politics, technology and aesthetic that bonded it together.

Acshually in Season 4, Episode 6 of Enterprise we learn Klingons tried to augment their race by stealing the research done by humans to create super humans like Khan.
The research went out of control and created a gain of function style virus which spread among their population giving many of them human like features which took centuries to breed out.

I have to agree, but if the end result is that everything broadcast is now canon (and believe me I'm saying that through gritted teeth, remembering the dumb shit in "Enterprise" where the r-slur writers wrote in the 'joke' that Vulcans think Humans literally stink, so that's now canon), then making DISCO something that happens in an alternate universe and not main branch universe is a solution I'll happily take even if they keep fricking around with canon.
When even the joke cartoon show thinks you're rubbish, you really are rubbish.

Agreed! Putting the garbage in the multiverse is the best way for them to clean up their pile of dogshit while also not admitting that they fricked up and made something no one actually likes; which giant media corporations are loathe to ever admit.
LucasFilm take notes!
