It’s also possible that I just personally feel what is being posted isn’t a meme but most disagree, especially given the amount of upvotes received. And of course, the boundary sometimes between a meme and inspirational picture can be blurry, and something probably difficult to hammer down in rules…
I admit part of why I stopped contributing anything (even though I am supposed to be the change I want to see) is because I feel it’s less a space for nice memes and more for a space of inspirational encouraging pictures nowadays with titles like “it’s true,” “it really does”. I’m glad people get value out of it and am wondering if anyone knows of a Threadiverse community for memes free of depressing/doomer or political memes, or if I’ll need to make it myself.
You might be better off making such a space yourself (with a clever name that hints at the purpose, preferably), because so many of the ‘meme’ communities get non-meme and wrong-meme posts. For an obvious example, the plain meme communities get political ones posted all the time (even ones that explicitly ban the topic-specific memes), and it’s frustrating to say the least.
I wish people were more careful about frigging posting to the correct communities in general, let alone weirdos finding themselves in communities they don’t like just to end up trolling what they don’t like to see.
