  • I’ve been seeing a ton more misinformation in memes on Lemmy the past month or so. It’ll never happen but I wish the mods would require sources on those posts.

    It’s especially frustrating because it’s not like we need to invent things to make the right look bad. We can just point to the things that are actually true…things that are way worse than destroying quote on a brick.

    4 hours later with at least one report and this post is still up, still getting upvoted. How many people have seen this and believe it’s true? How many have shared it? Meme culture is a cancer



  • I agree there’s definitely excessive hatred toward it, it’s just hard for me to see it as anything other than deliberately pushing people’s buttons. It does not accomplish their stated goal, it’s just annoying to read.

    I was going to compare it someone mumbling so “the hidden microphones can’t understand” but even that has some merit.

    Now I feel like it sounds like I’ve got some vendetta against them…I don’t mean it that way. I’m just ADHD overexplaining.



  • I’m not into antagonizing him for it but I am blunt about it. That user has been made aware that it makes their comments harder to read for users AND that it’s not poisoning AI but they do it anyway.

    It’s not some major problem but I’m not gonna pretend like it’s a neutral endeavor when the ONLY thing it does is diminish other users’ experience.

    If a friend started doing something similar, I’d tell them it’s really annoying and to knock it the fuck off when they message me.
