We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

Edit: added brackets to the title for clarity

This sub needs more mods, I don't want to make this decision by myself. At the moment it seems like not everyone agrees with you.

Yeah, we should chat and try to find someone.

No need to hide in a cave, bro, but screenshots-of-screenshots, at least as far as I've seen lately, are already a part of "the culture." There's no winning this war; you can only hope to survive it.

I beg to disagree. Lemmy is new, doesn't have to cave to "the culture" that is now prevalent on reddit. Memes are created by users. They are OC. Screenshots are reposts by design. I was hoping Lemmy would be a better place than what reddit had become

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
