Hey, Star Trek is supposed to be about exploration and diplomacy, not sitting around a station bickering. Truth hurts sometimes.
Voyager is the worst series.....Baloney!

And exploration. And inter-planetary commerce, colonization, holographic lifeforms, and on and on.
Honest? Yes. But a 'truth' is probably exaggerating things.
And whilst we're on the topic of exageration: hyperbole for comic effect. It's a thing.
I would have agreed with you in the beginning because Nana Visitor did start out as a soap actress and I thought it showed in her acting. But over time, the show did grow on me in spite of her. It did take a while to find its footing, but got a lot better after the Defiant was introduced and the whole war with the Dominion, Breen, Cardassians, etc. Not many war soaps out there. "Trials and Tribble-ations" remains one of the very best post-TOS episodes.
I have to admit that DS9 is probably my least favorite Star Trek series. While it did have some terrific characters and some captivating story arcs, there were too many "soap opera" episodes. I found myself frequently bored, taking stock of what I'm watching and half thinking to myself "do I abandon this, or keep watching?" Never happened to me in any other Star Trek series.
Still, DS9 is an essential part of the Star Trek universe. And as a captain, I think Avery Brooks did a terrific job. Very strong character. I truly like the way he evolved.

What are u talkin' about?! They did a lot of trekking in DS9. Remember the trips to the gamma quadrant?
You mean the time they explored a planet with sentient holograms? That trek?
Or maybe taking a benevolent leader being left behind due to dying but coming back?
There was some trekking there
But didn't it seem to anyone (besides me) that DS9 became more about war and politics after a certain point? How many times did they get just a purely exploratory mission in the GQ?
TO ONE AND ALL I LOVED EACH OF STAR TREK SERIES BECAUSE EACH ONE FOLLOWED THE HOPE OF A BETTER FUTURE BUT ALSO REMINDED US THEY WE MUST STAND-UP FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS FREEDOMS
It was sort of a joke, BUT...I'd be willing to wager that Sisko went on more exploration missions in his first two seasons than Picard on his first two seasons.
I think there was an interesting blend of stories. While the later ones became that, it felt like a natural progression of the story.
I have a preference for that whole exploring and moving on type of adventure.
I always joked that for people with the core mission of 'seeking new life' and 'boldly going where no one has gone before,' Kirk and Picard spend a lot of time visiting Starbase's/Fed colonies, and playing chauffeur for politicians.
It's also why I was thrilled when the new movies depicted the five-year mission as the crew being near-totally alone in unknown space, dealing with mostly non-Fed aliens (and the crew developing a bit of cabin fever as a result.) Yay for showing and not telling!

DIPLOMATIC ACTIONS WOULD REQUIRE TO HOST DIPLOMATIC MEETINGS OF INTEREST TO THE DIPLOMATS WISHES TO SEE AS LONG AS FEDERATION SECURITY IS DANGER AND SOME WOULD WORK ON STATIONS AS REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE FOR THE STARSHIPS AND PEACE MISSION PLANNING AND STARSHIPS BUILD UP FOR ANY ACTIONS THAT ARISES
