"Stop having fun!"

Is it only a meme if it is shared elsewhere before it is posted to a community about sharing memes? Is c/memes limited to sloppy seconds?

I get his argument. I personally don't mind it, but people are trying to curate their feeds better. Memes should ideally be for memes.

This better belongs in whitepeopletwitter. Do we have one on Lemmy yet?

I second this. Memes used to be image macros and All Your Base. Now any Tumblr screenshot or 4chan greentext seems to count depending on who you ask.

That is a more specific meme community.
