Star Wars Memes

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

Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

==========

IMPORTANT

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Special days!

Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.

Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!risa@startrek.website

Separatist systems:

!didyoueverhear@lemmy.world

!prequelmemes@lemmy.ml

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwars@lemmy.world

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I had over 10k karma on my old account, it is a meaningless feature and a sign that you need to touch grass.

[–] NickKnight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This and the waves of thirst bots "following" you every day pretty much makes this a non issue.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is my karma of 10k?

What does this supposed to mean? I honestly don't see any utility on this lol.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I want my money back, it did not work.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's mostly the sum of your upvotes. Anything over a few hundred is useless, it helps see if you're a bot to prevent you from posting to big subs

[–] exohuman@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have 45,581 karma. It’s just internet points. Doesn’t really mean anything.

[–] dill@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It would only mean something if you could cash out in real money lol

[–] Catch42@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

The only point of karma and account age is to be able to post in subreddits that have minimum karma requirements and so people don't think you're a shill. But if you don't plan to post anymore, there's not anything to regret.

Dwellers of the Fediverse: "Goooooood! Goooooooood!"

Thanks! I hate sand. It's coarse, rough, irritating. And it gets everywhere.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Might want to keep accounts for a bit to vote in community polls for what communities should do

[–] Bobbinapples@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm waiting until the API changes actually take place to delete my account. I want it to be clear they are still bleeding users weeks from now.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've lost multiple accounts with karma in the six figures to bullshit bans. I don't care. If Reddit cares so little about it's users, then why should I care about my karma & long standing accounts?

[–] Jon-H558@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep that is one reason to leave Reddit account as just build up bullshit bans usually in a thread asking why don't you like xxxxx

[–] Cocoa6790@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Liberation Anakin, it's going according to the planakin.

I didn’t delete mine yet, but I know that I have 5.4K karma. No idea if it’s a lot, what to do with it or what it does.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I have roughly 26,000, which is honestly pretty sad. At the very most, all it does is allow you to post on certain subs. It can act sort of like captcha. Otherwise, it does absolutely nothing but encourage addiction.

The look of a man who could have sold his account to a spammer.

Oh, those disgusting account-buying sites. I mean there's so many of them, though. Which one? Where can you sell them to?

[–] AnakinSandlover@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It's not a story Reddit admins would tell you.

[–] crowsby@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I have to think that supply-wise, now probably isn't the best time.

[–] Anonymo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I just shreddited everything

[–] Tyson712@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly it's for the best. Don't dwell on the past, these are different times so look forward

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mentlegen.

I already deleted all the content. I’ll probably have to keep it intact for a bit until some people I PM switch to using my email to contact me. After that, it’s gone. Turned to ash.

[–] IninewCrow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I dumped four of my accounts ... one had 200,000 karma ... two had 50,000 karma and one had a few thousand

I felt like Darth Plaguis The Wise

[–] Bard195@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does deleting a reddit account also means deletion of post and comments tied to that account?

[–] brihuang95@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty you can still see them, but your username won't be shown. It'll display as "[deleted]"

[–] AskThinkingTim@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am personally keeping my Reddit account. Deleting your main account is unnecessary.

[–] CthulhuDreamer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

At least deleting it without deleting all the post/comments first.

[–] AskThinkingTim@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

[–] gorkx@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@brihuang95 all i'm reading is a bunch of children continuing their pathetic little childish tantrum.

[–] Saga@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

You're the only here one throwing a tantrum. The projection is real.
