Welcome to the new /c/Ontario on Lemmy.world!

I hope to grow this community to be the unofficial home of Ontarian's on Lemmy. Please read the rules of the community for participating.

Now for the gritty - Rules

Golden Rule: Be Excellent to each other (Treat other’s the way you wish to be treated in kind).

If we find people attacking eachother, we will remove posts. Continued behaviour will result in a removal from the community.

SFW - Please keep posts Safe For Work. This is a community for everyone.

Links and submissions must be about the Canadian province of Ontario, or related to it. Posts not meeting this criteria will be removed.

Spamming the same news articles will be removed and offender removed from the community.
