    Image Transcription: Meme


    [‘Cast it into the fire’ - a three panel meme featuring Isildur and Elrond from the Lord of the Rings. In the first panel, Isildur’s hand is shown holding the ring between his fingers. In the second, Elrond speaks to him with an expression of distress and desperation, and the third panel shows Isildur responding with a smirk. The words “!starwarsmemes” (star wars memes) has been placed over Elrond’s forehead in the second panel, and the words “r/lotrmemes” (lord of the rings memes) is written above Isildur’s forehead in the third panel. The large text “reddit” in the first panel is placed on top of the ring itself]

    I was disappointed to see how much hate the mods were getting for taking a stand. Most of it was from people posting. The comment sections were mostly rebuking OP. Most people were saying things like “yeah, lord of the rings is TOTALY about bending the knee to fa face less power /s”.

    I thought I saw a lotr or other meme community here?

    Well, it’s not like that’s stopping anyone from spinning up one here.

    This community has no affiliation with any of the Reddit subs either. In fact I had pinged mods of all four star wars meme Reddit subs about moving to Lemmy, and neither has even responded.

      Aw, them too?

      Though it’s been kind of peculiar seeing people discussing whether a subreddit is “officially” moving to some place other than Reddit, because aside from a few subreddits where there’s clear corporate backing there’s nothing “official” about any of them in the first place. The only people who claim to be making some kind of “official” decision are a couple of mods, and ironically Reddit’s fundamental position in this whole mess is that mods are easily replaceable.

      I would dispute that “easily” part, especially for good mods, but it’s not like the creation of each domain-specific subreddit was some unique event that can never be replicated elsewhere. There are bronies here in the Fediverse. There’s [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], probably others I haven’t bumped into yet. They’re all small but they could grow.
