Rules:
Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

People in several Canadian provinces may need an apology after that.
I'm from one of those provinces. I'm a 10th Generation Canadian whose family fled after the Revolutionary War because they supported the Brits, and we've lived in our small community since then. I am not, and have no intention to be an American.
But all the same, something like this doesn't need more than a simple apology. Maybe they used the US instead of 'Eastern North America' and didn't think anything of it. Maybe they're just bad at geography. But if it was intentional, that's when I get mad.
Unfortunately, we’re getting used to it. Reference Rick Mercier’s Talking To Americans series.
Or they could've cut through the Erie Canal and kept it all in the US.
