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.

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's JavaScript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.

Twitter is DDOSing itself.

^I'm a human volunteer transcribing posts in a format compatible with screen readers, for blind and visually impaired users!^

I'm glad this volunteer community is back. How do I volunteer as well?

[–] BornVolcano 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Right now, I'm just operating freelance. But I'd recommend checking out the ToR subreddit and accessing the docs and discord from there.

(We don't have a central document put together yet that isn't reddit based, but if you go from reddit to discord it should be okay)

What does ToR stand for? Might be easier to find the subreddit that way.

Hey, I'm not much of a transcriber, but if you guys need any kind of infrastructure or tool hosting, I'd gladly donate my resources.

[–] BornVolcano 6 points 1 year ago

I'll ask the (unofficial) Lemmy branch of the ToR group on discord. Personally, I have no idea how to do anything aside from the transcribing part, but that also means I don't know what kind of infrastructure we'd need to get this off the ground haha.

I'll reach out to them and get back to you with results!

I like that the volunteer transcribers are already making the switch. Keep up the good work 👍

Nice work! Thanks for helping visually impaired users :)

Do you all have a home community? This was something I always wanted to look into doing on Reddit but never made the time.

[–] BornVolcano 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, r/TranscribersOfReddit, and then there's a discord where we all actually talk
