Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I try to give anyone who reports something the time of day. Apologies if you don't think I handled that report correctly.
Perhaps I should have just PM'd the comment author, so that you wouldn't have felt the need to get involved.
I couldn't resist attempting to help people learn because, at the end of the day, I didn't actually believe anyone who knows this term could be offended so I figured you just didn't know about the solar system. That was the extent of my 'involvement' until your unfounded accusation.
Do you always offer to completely change your moderation style when a single new user downvotes you like you did with me? Doesn't that get a little chaotic?
I was never offended, which I thought you were clear on before, but apparently not. It would seem like this urge you had to teach others, that you couldn't resist, was so powerful that you willing to overlook any possibility that it wasn't required.
As for the offer of changing moderation style: yes, I'm willing to change. I'm still feeling my way around it. If enough people communicate, through votes or comments, that my approach is wrong, I'll re-assess. Obviously though, someone as perceptive as you will have realised that my earlier offer was just for your stuff.
Ah...I did misread. So...unfounded accusations and a threat to remove my posts when, at the time, all I had done was link wikipedia and downvote a single comment.
You were a moderator on reddit quite a while weren't you?
It was never a threat to remove your posts. The 'threat', to the extent there ever was one, was to not bother seeking clarification in the event of any ambiguity, and only then if they were reported. As for accusations, I didn't realise it was plural now. I think I said that I interpreted your vote as disapproval of my approach, which still doesn't seem like an unreasonable interpretation.
I've never moderated anything before, certainly not on Reddit. You were saying that I reminded you of someone who complained to Crayola. Now I apparently remind you of someone on Reddit. There's nothing I can do about tenuous connections your brain is making, and this can never be a proper disagreement if you're repeatedly wondering off into fantasy.
You have displayed nothing but passive aggressive toxicity since your first comment to me linking wikipedia. You will go far as a moderator of your tiny little kingdom.
This is the part where I walk away because you are not an enjoyable human being to have in my life. :D
Oh. Then I'm genuinely sorry. I thought we were both having fun, engaging in a good old-fashioned flame war. Add that to 'incorrect assumptions' pile then, I guess.
