I go to Steam regularly to play my games, usually posting simple screenshots of my game sessions. But when I go to the communities I see Internet videos, GIFs, memes, and memetic everything and it’s not really my thing. I even posted on Lemmy that I didn’t like memes in general and what do they post on here? It feels like people are having fun by abusing their humanity in the process or like a Reddit subreddit, and I specifically came to Lemmy on the Fediverse to avoid all that. They post things that I’m uncomfortable with and typically I don’t have fun by posting Internet memes for a living…that’s just weird.

Does anyone agree or does everyone here do it anyway?

    I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren’t frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it’d have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.
