      A meme is a thing thats shared, so this becomes a meme when it’s posted to share with others.

      The hell do YOU think a meme is?

        A continuously adapted and shaped image, text or video that gets shared relentlessly.

        If something keeps getting shared unchanged, I wouldn’t actually consider it a meme, only if it’s altered. Otherwise I would just call it a viral post or video or something.

        Actually, it’s pretty hard to define a meme now that I try to think about it…

        I think they were referring to this community being called microblog memes and this post kinda not being a meme per se

      Memes and jokes should have a basis in reality or they’ll get shit on for being dumb. I know what a meme is. This was shit 🤷‍♂️

      If I post shitty right wing memes do I get a free pass or does it end up in the right can’t meme?

        Do you think people wanting privacy is somehow a political stance? Even more so, a… leftist political stance?

        Do tories not mind being spied on by their everything providers? xD
