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”.

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]

Damn. Maybe we should get the high ground fist…

Star Wars Memes: “No, thank you! We don’t want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!”
Lord of the Memes: (!lotrmemes@midwest.social) “And what about very old friends?”
Star Wars Memes: (clicks link) “Gandalf?”

Meme of the day :)

It really sucks cause that was one of my favorite meme subs.

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.

I feel the same way about r/mylittlepony.
