Post memes here.

A meme 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.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Waaaait a minute, I just posted this on a different instance, I thought up that title with my own brain & typed it with my own thumbs, and got 3 likes and zero comments 🤔 https://beehaw.org/post/27275820

Lemmy ml is under heavy boycott and I run an effort to crosspost all good content from them to the closest relevant comm, see the spoiler for more

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Alright well I'm a real human who put a little bit of excitement & effort into this post, so the least you could do is acknowledge the usernames of people you're stealing posts from.

[–] cm0002 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're crossposted and you can't steal memes anyways.

I do tag peoples usernames when it's OC, this however is not OC

I know it's not OC but my title sure was! I told you I thought of that title with my own brain and typed it with my own thumbs.

It felt mildly sickening to be casually scrolling through Lemmy and finding someone else posted the same exact thing I'd just posted, and you got more engagement than I did! Mildly sickening.

[–] cm0002 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Well, that's a new one, I don't really consider titles OC unless you put in some sort of personal story or something like say of your title was "This is so my [child]!", then I change it to something generic

Sorry if it made you sick, however, it does serve as a decent demonstration that despite being "bigger" by subscriber count the actual activity of the "big" ml comm is MUCH lower. This comm doesn't even have a third of the subscriber count, but most crossposts here average better engagement than .ml

Btw, I saw your other comment, there's !fdroid@lemdro.id and !rant@lemmy.sdf.org and www.lemmyverse.net is a great resource for comm discovery
