I like to imagine that Discovery takes place in the Kelvinverse rather than the main timeline.
Worf’s Klingon prosthetics literally changed between season 1 and seasons 2-7 of TNG. This obviously raises serious continuity issues about whether seasons 2-7 of TNG are even canon…

I’ve always been of the opinion that something is cannot if the owners say it is. Doesn’t mean I like it but I accept it. This is coming from the person who doesn’t like that they don’t respect ship names and registrations in Picard S3. Excelsior is NCC-2000 (insert Letter) not 90-odd thousand and something! /Rant
I have to disagree with the first sentence because Disney swept away all the extended universe canon when they took over Star Wars and I refuse to acknowledge that Kyle Katarn isn’t canon anymore.
The whole idea of “Canon” is a comforting self delusion and lie.
Let it go. Enjoy what’s in front of you. Stop getting distracted by things that don’t really matter to the story at hand. That’s how TOS did it.Canon
Ah, yes, the word that separates which made-up stories are more real than other made-up stories!
YES! Perfect description! That should be the definition of the term.
I mean there’s nothing wrong with your second point about enjoying what you like and not getting distracted by minutiae, buuuut unlike other franchises Star Trek quite literally does have an official canon:
That would be the lie part.
