Just remember a few weeks ago people complaining about memes communities being overwhelmed with political content, so thought this one could use some promotion

Personally, I agree with the statement that politcs are invading a lot of memes communities. Just had a look at !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works (also, did we really have to keep that name), one meme was about a nice joke with a “made my boyfriend a goblin keychain”, the top post is about Republicans claiming they supported Obama.
!microblogmemes@lemmy.world is right there. Should we consolidate?
I just had a look, third post is an Elon Musk tweet.
I feel like sometimes those communities aren’t really funny memes, it’s just screenshots of tweets to convey a message.
And that’s fine, but I guess !funny@sh.itjust.works can try to focus more on genuinely funny content.
If you want to suggest consolidation, feel free, but for reasons stated above I’m not that interested into microblogging communities anyway
I agree that c/funny should stay separate. But I don’t see a huge distinction between the content on whitepeopletwitter and microblogmemes. Might as well go with the name which is broader and less racially charged.
Yes, but on the other hand microblogmemes is on LW…
LW can have some communities, as a treat, no? :)
If not, someone can just create !microblogmemes@lemm.ee
Do as you wish, I don’t really care about this kind of communities that much 😄
Haha, neither do I, really. These kinds of communities fall into the category of “five big websites all posting screenshots of the other four”. I’d rather spend my efforts to grow more niche communities. :)
Indeed! :)
