There are dedicated communities for that type of content. What is not there is a sizeable (or any at all) meme community without it.
I'll probably post a screenshot of this later.

MODERATORS
Hard agree. Screenshots of a text-only social media post are not 'memes' and have no place in a meme community.
Most shit on this community is not a meme
What you say is indisputable but every time I've ever said the same thing, it's weirdly disputed.
Sounds pretty disputable then
Yeah like I always say, nothing smarter than groups of people!
I totally see this side, however the last time this came up we did a big community discussion about it in which people discussed their different definitions of a "meme" (many argued it includes shared humorous screenshots, and many argued that memes are limited to image macros), but the majority thought that this kind of stuff was fair game and/or didn't want the added restriction.
I remember that discussion, I kicked it off. However, a. memes like this here still get more up- than downvotes and b. I still don't like those posts so I will post memes like this when I feel sm-screenshot posts are rising in numbers too much and c. there is still no community to go to for people who don't want such posts in their meme community.
That's all totally fine, of course. And voting on the content you want to see is why we have the voting system. If community opinion changes, we can always change stuff.
Thank you for your work o7

POV when you see*
Hell no. That's not POV.
(It was a joke at those who know what a meme is as well as they know what POV means, often the two crossing over in the same post)
Did just get a great shitpost idea, though...
Nobody:
POV we are not the same:

It's the trifecta of attrocities.
