    I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.

    While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

    Don’t like it? Vote with your feet.

          Managed to confuse someone besides myself while high

          fuck yeah I think that could be an achievement

          business acumen or something idk I’m high as fuck

          tldr yeah was just being silly I know those aren’t dogs.

          While looking for an opossum meme on my phone, not finding it between all the Luigi Mangione memes, and taking one from Google images instead, I had an introspective thought. Apologies if the confusion thing came off as rude. I did not intend to insult you, I just intended on celebrating my silly.

          With high doses of cannabis, for me, it’s “think fun thoughts = feel good feelings”. Sorry if I made you feel bad feelings. You got a really cool instance name, if that could possibly lift the mood and undo emotional damage. Also, I’m not just saying that. It’s cyberpunk af which is sick as hell homie

          an image of an opossum, "I captioned one day I'll shut up. Not today though." By the way, sorry if this is bad etiquette for accessibility use, but could you let me know if I can provide any help as someone with some JavaScript programming experience. I promise to not be intentionally cognitively quagmired.

          (As caused by my mind-altering chemical intake)

          (That previous additional caption joke was a coincidence, I did not know what the caption was before writing the accessibility description)

            God damn you really do be litty right now.

            I didn’t take it as rude or insulting at all, you’re just overthinking and paranoid bc you’re high af.

            Plus I’ve already taken an immense amount of abuse on Lemmy because I’m an admin, people always end up popping off on me no matter what I do. I see you’ve been here a long time so you may remember a few months after the APIcalypse when trolls were spamming the most disgusting stuff and I had to keep banning them as quickly as I could. This guy took it personally 😂

              Turds gushing like a broken damn

              Uhh, I guess one could argue that it’s poetic? Like he knows he’s a piece of shit. He knows there are other pieces of shit. But he’s too stupid to know that there are probably admins in multiple time zones when you go to sleep, NLP-powered blacklists and other automod tools. (I’m assuming)

              wait did he set his username to specifically call you a slur?

              we are definitely not smoking the same strain

              probably not even smoking the same substance

              I don’t mean crack or bath salts or whatever

              I mean like, carbon monoxide, leaded gasoline and rare deliriants.

              Didn’t know I was talking to a mod, so wasn’t intending to ass-kiss. Uh let me say something to prove I’m not biased but not break the rules.

              Your 2nd favourite song probably isn’t all that great

                Yea he kept making new accounts and I kept banning them, so then he did that. Well, good luck with the rare deliriants my friend. Pour one out for me.

          Possums are awesomes! Possums eat ticks and other stuff you don’t want around and are immune to rabies. Good animal to share space with.

      If reposting memes, then why not do a quick reverse image search and grab a better version, as well? It seriously only takes mere seconds most of the time.

      Tineye works great, but there’s also Google reverse image search when that doesn’t provide the results you hope for.

      Not only does this generally improve the experience for everyone, but it also makes the platform much more appealing to outsiders that care about quality and will drive more quality users to Lemmy. On top of quality, but also things like links to and information about the creators, which is especially important for things like comics because the more people that know where to find the creators the more those creators can keep making their art.

      Obviously, I do my best to contribute to this, but the more people that join in the better.
