  • This sub is really confused about what a meme is

    • 160 people have upvoted it, funny is funny my guy

      • Whoosh. It's not a meme

        • You do an aweful lot of arguing about what is and isn't content for someone who posts no content.

          • What a dumb argument. Fitting though

            The evidence we have actually is that not posting means you're more likely to know what a meme is

            • Fitting for you to come here from the reddit migration, and do the reddit thing of complaining about falling quality but not try to turn it around? I took my data-hoard of memes and shitposts and am making my name posting them to make this a better place than reddit. I'm sorry you disagree but hey maybe you can use all that Linux knowledge and help the people learning Linux by posting about it?

              • Did you study my history or what?

                Kinda weird you're convinced I am claiming reddit has better quality shit or something. Yeah maybe I should post, but honestly most times I've tried I get my post deleted due to some ridiculous rule. Then I see posts like this one all the time, not fitting the sub or just not being interesting... Doesn't inspire me

                • 2 critical replies in, opened your profile saw 500 comments and no posts, June join date. Most of the recents deal in Linux. Dropped it there. I didn't say reddit is better, I'm saying the stereotype of redditors is to complain but not do anything about it.

                  If the differences between a shitpost and a meme were better defined maybe I'd find myself adhering to those definitions better. But in my long experience downloading memes/shitposts/funny pictures (over 5000 now) most places use these terms interchangeably. Losing a post to moderation here and there ain't so bad, it's more of a learning experience to not post anything too similar to that.

                    You just described human nature then ascribed it to Redditors in particular...

                    Losing a post to moderation here and there ain't so bad

                    Ok so what's so bad about an (accurate) criticism on occasion that "this is not a meme"? Sounds also like a thing you could learn from.

                    Instead of asking me to post more stuff. if I took your advice and suddenly matched your every post, then we, I guess, would end up with one post that is a meme and one that isn't. That's a marginal improvement I guess, but it ignores the fact that people who post could just care that words have meaning
