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
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

That was not my intended meaning of it. I meant that I simply post an enormous amount and those people pop up in the comments. I'm not trying to big up my ego, especially when I absolutely hate myself.
That being said, if you want to tone back the reddit energy then I might recommend starting with yourself. If you have an issue with something I say, fine. Talk to me about it. I have no issue having a discussion provided it comes from a place of decency and kindness. This "Oh god, what bullshit" energy is why I left reddit. I don't need to deal with here too. You're a person and i'm a person. How about we both treat each other like one and talk about stuff instead of this angry energy.
Edited the comment for clarity and to remove the 'offending' phrase.
That's fair. I probably was more combative than necessary so apologies for that. Still, I think the overall point is valid even if it was expressed poorly. The concept of celebrity in general is pretty obnoxious but applying it to an anonymous person, especially one primarily posting memes, is quite nonsensical. You may not have intended to play into that but many people do.
I appreciate it.
I've got no interest in trying to pretend that i'm celebrity on here. I post an enormous amount and because of that my name is recognized by a huge amount of people on here. That's as far as I go. I'm not "famous" or a "celebrity" for posting here (I've been called both on numerous occasions from casual users to admins and the phrase doesn't sit right with me either. I just post a lot. There's nothing 'famous' about it and I'm not deserving of the "Oh wow Stamets is posting here!" which mods of multiple communities have done as well. I'm just trying to help Lemmy out and add more content and get more stuff going.
