    Meta memes? Straight to jail.

    I’m finding no matches for this image or some text on it, so it seems like you made this meme and posted it onto a forum which has only a couple of those criteria as its actual rules. Is this just bad faith smear campaigning to stir shit against this community and/or its mods?

    Rule 3 is also the only one of these rules that is the slightest bit dubious. The rest are justifiable for most audiences and mod teams, assuming there’d be a reasonable time limit to when reposting would be permissible.

        There are suitable subforums for most of those, but they’re typically bothersome in a general meme page for both audiences and mods

          Nah, political scientists say everything is political. And since people like memes, they must like political memes, which is all memes

            Sigh… You’re being difficultly obdurate and pedantic. Let’s say “No overtly and/or directly political memes” then.

              Well memes are like movies, right? And the most popular movies are very political. Like Star Wars or Citizen Kane. I think people like politics. Whatever thing they don’t like that you’ve noticed, I don’t think it’s politics. I think it’s something else that looks like politics.

    Idgaf what anyone shares as a “meme.” I like the sharing. Even the overused templates remind me of better days. The tiktoks are ok too. It’s not like I’m using the app so it’s the only time I’ll ever see it.

    Let others have joy. You can block people you don’t like, hide communities that aren’t working for you, or just scroll on by.

    I think every meme is political. That’s the point of a meme.

    And yet, plenty of memes to be had, shared, created, evolved and enjoyed.

    Seems a skill issue?

    So, after eliminating all those, what’s left?
