internet funeral

I think the biggest thing that draws me to this community is surrealism. If it's not surreal and it's just a meme, it probably shouldn't be allowed.

Of course I enjoy the occasional meme, but Ive seen a few in here that feel like they just missed the mark of being surreal.

But that's just my two cents. I still love this community regardless.

I live in Europe spatially and temporally, and sitting at my 1998 Gateway pc in this abandoned gas station deciding whether things are internet funereal enough is just about the most internet funereal thing I can think of.

Also now top of active! :)

Say congrats to @FQQD@feddit.de for becoming the first mod!!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Maybe it's coincidence but I left a comment earlier on a now-delered post criticizing subreddits and lemmy communities in general. If that's the post you're referring to, please know I wasn't referring to this sub in particular. You've been pretty good at sticking to the theme and when I've felt a post doesn't belong, I've reported it and seen some removed.

I think when it comes to themed communities like this, it's better to have stricter rules so (if you even agree), defining what does and doesn't count would be helpful.

My personal opinion is that the criteria should be:

1. Images only. No links or videos. No screenshots. No memes.

2. Images must be about the end of an era or a collapse of some sort, preferably relating to technology

3. Surreal but not "weird for the sake of being weird"

Like you said...it's gotta vibe.

As an example of what I consider an extremely fitting post, I think this one, posted by you, nails it

Holy shit I thought the sublemmy's closing

I randomly came across this community maybe two weeks ago. I still have no idea what this community is about, but I know I love the content. Thanks for putting effort into moderating thingies, have a cookie! 🍪

Hey there! It’s your favorite (and only) /c/internetfuneral moderator here.

Only? There's two of you fuckers.

I enjoy this community a lot. I think it's done a good job of keeping things strange without it descending into the shitshow that r/surrealmemes with the same tired ideas recycled over and over.

I think you're doing a good job. So what is you remove something that someone else thinks fits or something else gets through. It's all meaningless anyways.

I mean if you have trouble finding someone, I'd be ready to do the job. I live in Germany, so European timezone, but the thing is; I'm pretty new to Lemmy, don't know the original subreddit and never posted here, due to a lack of selfmade content. I do enjoy the community a lot, though

I just found this community the other day, and it honestly reminds me of https://screenshotsofdespair.tumblr.com , a blog I've followed and enjoyed for years now. It's not quite the same in intent, but the vibes definitely match. Glad I've found this!

I'd like to just add that I love the looseness and randomness here. It all feels like fast and loose vibes, but theres still some theme I can't put my finger on. Like the distilled essence of the abstract. I love it.

Hi. I'm probably a bad candidate for this, but I would love to be involved in some way. I'm in Korea, so it's a completely different timezone. But still. Hit me up. Let me disappoint you.

I’d be down to moderate if you are looking, already moderate a couple other communities. I live in UTC+9:30.
