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

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:

  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.

It's one of the biggest Christian holidays so if you're in a Christian country or around Christians, people might care. Also, holidays are always nice

Or maybe you are just a Christian yourself as crazy as that might sound

Holidays are not nice - it's the capitalism they give us a miserly break from that is horrible.

Holidays predate capitalism by a couple millennia. They were always a nice brea and they still are. Except I work all of them, which is capitalism's fault.

Holidays are nice. Not that more free time wouldn't be nice too.

Holidays on a weekend suck!

I actually had no idea it was Easter until I started seeing posts about it.

Northwestern part of the USA. I just don't spend time around religious people I guess.

Me neither, but it's just a culturally significant thing in Finland so you'll see it in calendars, you realize it from getting a holiday from work/school, it's mentioned casually in media a lot (traffic news, weather talking about "Easter weekend's" weather) and so on. I would've imagined it was prominent enough in the US that it'd be hard not to notice.

Right? Even here in Czechia, which is like in the TOP 3 most atheistic countries in the world, everyone knows it's Easter. And no one has a problem with it (nor with Christmas), everyone accepts is as part of cultural heritage. Some people in this thread have such a weird take.

I live in one of the more secular cities so it doesn't really get talked about so much in daily life. I am thankful for it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I don't think Finland is very religious, it's more cultural I'd say.
