I'd rather this sub be more like r/games than r/gaming. News and discussion.

No memes, allowing memes usually ends up in it being the only thing posted instead of discussions.

It's better to have a separate ~~subreddit~~ community for memes. Allowing memes will results in this being the only content here.

No. R/gaming was a clownshow of the same low effort garbage posts. Have a day of the week or push it to another sub.

Absolutely not. Games on Reddit was a serious news and discussion forum. That's what I'd like to see here. Meme communities can name themselves just that, but this is c/Games, not c/Gaming or c/GameMemes

no thank you, Reddit already became bloated to hell and back via memes being allowed on a lot of forums, let's keep it sanitized and have another community for that.

No memes here, please. I actually enjoy them but we can have a separate option elsewhere on lemmy for that.

Old Reddit user turned Lemmy here. Memes are fun and all, but they also get out of hand very quickly and we're stuck with a sub with low-effort memes instead of actual discussion/news. Once a month meme day could work though.

No, I'd rather have a separate community for game memes (which I myself might also join) and keep things clean here.

As a convert from reddit, definitely no memes

My first opinion on my not even 2 day old account would be no.

But I'd be OK with a MemeDay as well if the "no meme"s result isn't over 50% in the poll. It can bring a nice bit of variety (even if that same content is available elsewhere).

Absolutely no memes please. Right now, r/games is easily the subreddit that I miss the most, and it's because it was entirely news and discussion focused. I sincerely hope I can turn to this community for most of my gaming news, and don't want to see an influx of memes.

I voted no. I would prefer this community to be more like r/Games than r/gaming. I would rather the community be about game news, reviews, and discussions.

Allowing a single day of the week will lead to more work on the moderators than a general ban. It also makes the community less usable on those days. I also worry that it will destroy viewing the community by top posts.

Either no memes (rather a separate community for that) or something like memes only allowed on one specific day of the week.

So with a little under 3 hours to go it looks like the community has done the right thing and picked no memes at all (by around 120 votes as it currently stands).

Now let's see about blocking photo posts and other low-effort garbage, too, while we're at it.

It's pretty clear from the vote and the comments that we want this to be the equivalent of /r/games - text posts and links only. If someone needs to show off their hall effect stick mod or a photo of some dude flipping the bird, they can do it in a hardware-dedicated or circlejerk community where that kind of thing belongs (respectively).

Memes are kind of everywhere, and seem to take over everything else around them. They're like an invasive species, really. They're the invasive content of the Internet world.

I say we go meme-less!

The pathofexipe sub has a "lazy Sunday" where memes are allowed. I kind of like that solution

I like the choice for a single day of the week - seems a good happy medium.

I actually loved how it was split between /r/gaming as a place for memes and (really, like really really) low effort posts and /r/games for actual news and discussions around games. I would not combine both.

No. Go to C/gamingmemes or something.

I absolutely despised the low effort shit in rgaming.

But please please please, if you’re going to accept low effort crap, make people post the title of the game in the post.

To encourage growth, I say yes.

Once we have a ton of users that can keep a discussion going drop the memes and let this become like the Reddit games sub.

What would a gaming community be without memes
