And now infographics are memes... Shitposts has more memes than this community.

No, you see, you have to upvote it because communism is great

On a scale of Ayn Rand to Karl Marx, how good is communism?

I'm about to leave Lemmy too because the main thing that shows up is /c/memes and half the time the posts aren't memes and when they are they're just reposts from 10 years ago.

Why not just block the meme channel?

Why keep browsing all at all if you’re so picky.

For me its because it's the default and I like the memes. For the person I'm commenting to he probably doesn't know how to configure it.

Infographics have always been memes. They're inherently meant to be memetic in nature. What they intend to do is literally what the word "meme" means.

By that loose definition political parties are memes.

Yer mum is a meme.

I can see how they'd sound like the same thing to a person who is functionally illiterate.
