We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

No need to hide in a cave, bro, but screenshots-of-screenshots, at least as far as I’ve seen lately, are already a part of “the culture.” There’s no winning this war; you can only hope to survive it.
I beg to disagree. Lemmy is new, doesn’t have to cave to “the culture” that is now prevalent on reddit. Memes are created by users. They are OC. Screenshots are reposts by design. I was hoping Lemmy would be a better place than what reddit had become
We can hope. But in the end it’s the people who post that will decide. I think we should continue to allow the people and culture of the sub to define itself, instead of making mandates
On Reddit, wasn’t that kind of thing mostly just relegated to other subs? Similarly to other whatever-th degree meta jokes. Could be a thing here too.

Thanks for the info and the proposal. I see communities get organized and talk to each other. I gives hope for a better fediverse

Sorry, I saw it used this way in another thread and reused it. Maybe there are other cues
Take the chance now to stablish rules for screenshots AND not allowing comics at the same time (I understand that it’s what you meant by “cartoons”, right?)
There is a community already for the latter here: !comics@lemmy.ml and if people like screenshots so much they can already create their own, as you said (def wont be joining that one myself 😅)
It seems that we need more mods in this commu
