the other thing to consider with low effort, duplication of memes is the server overhead. one thing to burn corporate coffers with the same people of walmart and cat tropes but this kind of stuff burns server and storage resources.
for a corporate entity looking to make billions off our data that's the cost of doing business -- but for lemmy server admins it's a truly personal cost.
imo we should be respectful of our "homes" and try not to trash them with low value content.
I think this is an excellent point (re: server overhead) and one I hadn't considered. Thanks for sharing that.
I want to echo what dialectic cake said. I had not considered this at all and it's such a good thing to keep in mind. Thanks for edifying me!
