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.

If we do that, the culture will be defined by people who don't care about the culture.

A proper discussion followed by polls to establish rules would greatly increase the content quality now that lemmy is moving towards mainstream.
