Thank you for censoring the word gun, can’t have such naughty words on the internet now can we?
!microblogmemes@lemmy.world would be a better place to post this kind of thing.
Not everyone on here is going to agree with me, but I’m getting tired of seeing so many communities become the same thing. Just a ‘dump it there,’ community. (That’s what !justpost@lemmy.world is good for BTW.) This ‘meme’ community, !funny@sh.itjust.works and !microblogmemes@lemmy.world are all starting to look about the same in content. I don’t always want to read Microblog memes and sometimes I don’t want to read standard memes.
Why is the word gun partially hidden??
Because then people ask why gun is partially hidden. This is followed by somebody explaining why gun was partially hidden and then somebody else who comments on how the whole exchange is just making this tactic more effective.
It’s all engagement which often leads to more reach and visibility for the post.
You’re just making the tactic more effective by continuing to engage with it like this.
To be fair, ‘memes’ is inherently a generic community. If you don’t like that, then you should sub to more specific comms and block ones whose scope is too generic. You can’t answer all posts to generic comms like ‘videos’ by saying “Well, there’s this more specific comm”. The threadiverse isn’t a directory structure where you should necessarily filter down to more specific subdirectories where possible.
I agree that LCD genericization is a huge problem on sites like Lemmy and Reddit. It’s seriously troubling how it eventually becomes one big mass without meticulous moderation. But the problem you’re describing is baked into the comm in this case.
“Surrender … or I’ll start reading Dianetics at you!”
