No, apparently not. I don’t know why, but I think many people don’t care much about this. They see a post they mildly find funny, upvote, move on. At the same time, comments that voice annoyance get the normal amounts of upvotes, maybe slightly more downvotes but are still significantly in the positives.
A meme (/miːm/ ⓘ; MEEM)[1][2][3] is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.[4] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy [sic] just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn [sic] should not have been counted
Max Lavergne, Tumblr[1][2]
“Spiders Georg” is an internet meme that began circulating on the microblogging website Tumblr in 2013. It was created by Max Lavergne as a humorous post involving a common misconception about the average number of spiders accidentally swallowed per year by each human. The post saw an increase in popularity the following year, and the format of the meme has been adapted to other topics, mimicking the spelling and grammatical errors of the original post.
Oh right, so literally any image that gets copied belongs here? That’s what you believe? You’d be happy if I just screenshot my desktop showing nothing and posted it here?
We all know the original definition. We all know that’s not what it means now.
Is there a meme community on the fediverse that is active and bans screenshots of text?
Out of curiosity, why would this be more appealing?
Because text only screenshots from other platforms are just annoying and not memes.
Agree on that text only screenshots are often less funny but isn’t that issue solved by downvotes?
No, apparently not. I don’t know why, but I think many people don’t care much about this. They see a post they mildly find funny, upvote, move on. At the same time, comments that voice annoyance get the normal amounts of upvotes, maybe slightly more downvotes but are still significantly in the positives.
Because it’s mostly boring soapboxing, rather than funny pikchor.
The OP’s screenshot, for instance, is a shit attempt at a joke that is only popular because it’s saying “AI bad”.
Fair point, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
No. I tried to bring that forward here, but simply speaking, not enough people actually care.
Hey mate you can always create your own community or full on instance if you want to. That’s kinda the point of the fediverse
Great and then I have an empty community.
There would be at least the other commenter that started this thread.

Lmao. Go ahead.
That’s me on the right screen btw.
Oh so you do know what a meme is. Get in the fucking sea.
That’s what your mom said.
Wait, she didn’t.
She said, ‘get in the fucking c’.
No.
I know what memes are.
That’s you.
