The drama is related to a Science Fiction community mod and and admin. I don't know enough to write on it, so check there.
Edit: MFW I just wanted to make a meme but dragged all the drama here
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):

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:
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.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
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!
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.
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).
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.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
I didn't know this is like Beehaw where you need to come hat in hand with an introductory essay before you can ask a question.
Fine, I apologise for not saying Hello, I was tired. But if you need more than that, then well I'm not your person. I was in the scifi thread, got upset, then realised I should ask the other side as well. I was trying to get a picture, couldn't get it, we both said/agreed the debate is over, so I left because I was getting more tired and upset and didn't want to say something bad and frankly got worried that someone would make it about me, like it's here. Guess that's wrong?
I wanted to sleep on it, but when this meme showed up, I tried to recap the situation here as neutrally as possible for people, tried to avoid saying who is right (ed: at first at least. Stress on "tried", whether you believe it or not.), didn't call out any particular admin, told people to make up their own mind, and i'm still the bad guy. I really don't know what you expect from someone to recap the situation. "The great diligent admins banned the toxic harasser who's been nothing but spewing vile", was that what I was supposed to write?
Despite what you may think about my motivations, I don't have any stake in this other than trying to help make Lemmy a good platform, but for quite a while it's been pointless due to all this toxic positivity where everyone has to walk on tiptoes.
Funny...
We replied to your post. That's all there is to it.
I believe you can express nearly anything you wish. Why mention walking on your tiptoes? We're engaged in a discussion about something on which we hold differing opinions. That's perfectly acceptable. However, we are permitted to present our perspective.
But I think we have now spoken to you at length enough on this subject. For me, this is a case closed.
