With the idea transferred from the similar community on Reddit, Canada Disability is a place for people in Canada to share resources, experience, and advice for people with and families of people with physical disabilities, mental illness, neurodivergence, chronic illnesses, etc.

In addition to the rules on this instance (see sidebar on the homepage), this community adopts the following rules:

Keep it Canada-centric

We’d love to see anyone who wants to participate in this community, whether you’re disabled or not. But please realize that this is a Canadian-focused disability community. As such, content must be related in some way to Canada.

Trolling

Content posted with the explicit purpose of antagonizing, creating conflict, or otherwise stirring the pot will be removed. Repeatedly posting that content will also remove you.

Disrespectful Conduct

This community is for respectful, civil discussion. Disagreements are fine. Debates are fine. Personal attacks are not. Be respectful, or say nothing.

Absolutely No Ableism

None. Ever. Ableism in this community gets you banned, and that ban is permanent.

No Racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/etc

This is not what this community is for, and has absolutely no business here. Racism, sexism, or any of the other isms are not going to be tolerated here. If you can’t be polite and respectful, you can’t be here.

No Doxxing

Doxxing, or the sharing of other people’s personal information, is not only against this community’s rules, but is also probably against Lemmy.ca’s rules sitewide. Do not dox. Just don’t.

No Surveys

This community does not invite surveys, be they paid, free, anonymous or otherwise. This is a supportive sub intended for disabled people and those who support them, not a data point.

For everything else, please use common sense and the instance’s own rules.

Lemmy.ca

A Canadian-run community, geared towards Canadians, but all are welcome!

Welcome 🍁

Lemmy.ca is run by Canadians, hosted in Canada, and geared toward Canadians. However, it is not restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

To learn more about what Lemmy is, or how the Fediverse works, you can visit our simple Getting Started Guide.

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

Rules and Guidelines

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. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No Porn

This instance is not made to host porn communities. You’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 wouldn’t want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the :::spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner.

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 shouldn’t be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot account

If you are the operator of a “bot” account, make sure to flag is as such in the account’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 isn’t labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn’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

Don’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 isn’t.
