A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

[Meta] Is it ok to repost memes from other meme communities? (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Basically the title. I decided that I don't want to support !memes@lemmy.ml where every third post is a hateful communist "meme" that even communists can't find funny and where admins tolerate memes about how it's ok to shoot people with certain opinions and, similar things. There are some great memes however, and I'm not sure if it's good to repost them here. What's the stance of this community about that?

Yeah it's totally fine, just use the cross-post feature?

[–] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I know how to do that :) I'm asking if it's not somehow considered improper to just repost non-OC memes from other communities. Glad it's not.

Please do. I always block lemmy.ml so I don't see anything posted on their instance.

The account I use now is totally defederated from lemmy.ml. I use it by choice.

I am upgrading myself from half to now 2/3rds likelihood ready to do that myself... I really really wanted to give them every chance but dude, wtf!?

The only thing holding me back at this point is that there are other good communities there, like https://lemmy.ml/c/dataisbeautiful (rare posts to that one though).

But I do think I'm close to unsubscribing at least to those memes - they just aren't "fun":-|.
