I have nothing against funny pictures, screenshots, caricatures or anything similiar. However, they are not memes. So perhaps we could have a seperate community for the regular funnies and/or shitposting (as they are not memes) and keep the memes community to just memes?
A while ago I made a meme about this unfortunate pattern on
/c/memes:
I was thinking the same regarding comics, since a lot of people post them here and they are not memes, may be a good idea to do the same with everything that’s not a meme.
I was also thinking the same as @morrowind@lemmy.ml and maybe having separate communities for political memes may be a good idea, and leave /c/memes just for plain humour, although this can be harder to do since a lot of stuff ends up having politics in one way or another.
I don’t know if I should take this decision by myself just because I’m a mod, though, so maybe hearing out what the rest have to say is a nice idea.
So where would you post the non-meme funny pics?
!funny@lemmy.ml perhaps?
Or, if appropriate, !politicalhumor@lemmy.ml or !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml or !mathhumor@lemmy.ml or !linuxhumor@lemmy.ml etc
imo mods of !memes@lemmy.ml should delete non-meme posts. if it is a good non-meme post and you’re feeling generous, you could send the submitter a message suggesting that they repost it to one of the appropriate communities with “funny” or “humor” in its name.
i would not try to make /c/memes non-political, though, because actually everything is political, so, if you did that thoroughly enough then there would be no more memes here at all :)
I have to do a poll, but it will most likely be that way.
Regarding the politics, I feel you, and I agree everything is political and such, but I think there’s a middle point where most people can agree it’s bearable, and other times not. For example, I really hate seeing liberal memes, and I’m sure liberals hate seeing Leninists memes here but there are gray places when it’s hard. I think I will leave it like this for now.
Something like c/politicalhumor could sound like a good idea.
it exists and has
1.9K310 subscribers: !politicalhumor@lemmy.ml (edit: was confused with !programmerhumor which has 1.9K)It would be nice to do a poll, though, and see what people think.
I would also like to keep political memes out of it, but that’s probably futile considering they all seem to be political.
