Lemmy.ca

Welcome to Lemmy.ca!

ā€œLemmy.caā€ is so named due to it running the Lemmy software, in the Fediverse, and itā€™s geared toward Canadians, hosted in Canada, and run by Canadians. It is, however, not at all restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

We are run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.

We have some rules here:

1. No Bigotry

Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be Civil

Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate.

3. No Porn

This instance is not made to host porn communities. Youā€™re free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tag

Use your common sense: if you wouldnā€™t want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such.

5. No Ads / Spam

This instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldnā€™t be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot account

If you are the operator of a ā€œbotā€ account, make sure to flag is as such in the accountā€™s settings.

7. Right to privacy

Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuse

The report function isnā€™t labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesnā€™t mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. Impersonation

Donā€™t make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isnā€™t.
