Post memes here.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

• Wait at least 2 months before reposting
• No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes can be better place for that
• Use NSFW marking accordingly

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

• Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
• Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS___ Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it. ___

3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

• /c/Memes@lemmy.world - General memes

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

• All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
• Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
• Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
• We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

• Higher wages for underpaid workers.
• Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
• Better and fewer working hours.
• Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
• Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

General rules:

• Be kind.
• All posts must make an attempt to be funny.
• Obey the general sh.itjust.works instance rules.
• No politics or political figures. There are plenty of other politics communities to choose from.
• Don’t post anything grotesque or potentially illegal. Examples include pornography, gore, animal cruelty, inappropriate jokes involving kids, etc.

Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the mods.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takesIf you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevantPosts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeechNo slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politicsWe don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriouspostingWe don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified materialClassified information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artworkIf you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort postsNo egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us bannedNo brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

Sub for any gaming related content!

Rules:

• 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
• 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
• 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

• to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
• to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

1. **Be nice to each other.**Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.
2. **No bigotry or hate.**Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
3. **Stay on-topic.**Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.
4. **No traffic violence.**Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
5. **No reposts.**Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
6. **No misinformation.**Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
7. **No harassment.**Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

In-depth political discussion from around the world; if it’s a political happening, you can post it here.

Guidelines for submissions:

• Where possible, post the original source of information.
  • If there is a paywall, you can use alternative sources or provide an archive.today, 12ft.io, etc. link in the body.
• Do not editorialize titles. Preserve the original title when possible; edits for clarity are fine.
• Do not post ragebait or shock stories. These will be removed.
• Do not post tabloid or blogspam stories. These will be removed.
• Social media should be a source of last resort.

These guidelines will be enforced on a know-it-when-I-see-it basis.
