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...

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
