Don't worry about it. This person has announced that they will be putting this in every post they decide doesn't fit their personal criteria until they're banned.
And their bio is a lie. They proved that in the same thread.
I read their bio just now and had a chuckle at the wild self deception.
The current definition is actually just "thing on internet". But the reason the person you're responding is upset is they are a hyper conservative bootstrapper.
Yeah, they use "politics" when they mean "thing I didn't want to think about" and "meme" for "picture with words that I liked".
