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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

It blows my mind that people still use meta's services. After everything we know - years and years of leaks, admissions, investigations. Honestly, what will it take??
Most people don't see how these things directly affect them because the effects are mostly indirect and the media doesn't explain why they should care, and many have their social lives tied to using platforms where the other people they know are, so can't switch to a less evil alternative without becoming a recluse unless a critical mass of their friends are already using it.
Me on Discord. I'm so ready to move. My friend's aren't...
It doesn't help either that in developing countries, Facebook is free to use even without mobile internet data. Little do users from these countries realise is that they are the product.
Way more shame.
