    Do you want people to stop coming here? Because this is how you can get people to stop coming here.

        Stuff that brings me joy. Posting left wing political shit on lemmy is like, the epitome of preaching to the choir. Every time I see some unnecessary political take that everyone here agrees with anyway, like there’s always that one person in any thread that has to bring politics into things and I’m just like nope, I’m out. Got better things to do than have my mood ruined by thinking about the worst parts of life. Its like you people are intentionally trying to make everyone miserable.

          Yes, 1000%. This is exactly how I feel about this stuff.

          We’re here to escape from the world to some extent, not constantly be reminded about it, specifically the worst parts

              I don’t think I’ve ever seen a meme that isn’t expressing an opinion. Do you have any examples in mind?

                Almost all the memes I have saved are pretty much void of any real statement or opinion, except maybe “this is humorously absurd”. Unfortunately they’re all images and I don’t want to go to the trouble of transcribing them

                In general if something appears to he trying to sway or convince me toward something, it isn’t a meme, it’s a political cartoon or an advertisement, even if it’s trying to be humorous.

                  Does posting images work on lemmy? Ok I see there are some memes that are in the meirl category but at least half(probably more) of memes have a clear point of view that is being expressed.

                  You’ve got saved memes? Post em! The only one that can change the balance of memes is you.

                    oh shit that works? Ok that’s nice, did not realize

                    how do I do that from mobile? Is it on mobile clients at all, or is it just connect that’s missing it?

        I’m neither smug nor a liberal. I’m simply tired of repetitive, dumb and US centric political memes. Lemmy started out sort of ok but it’s turning into a very annoying place.

          I’ve been using Lemmy for four years now, and this instance only started becoming an annoying place after Reddit migration with people constantly complaining that Lemmy isn’t like Reddit.

            Except that I’m not complaining about that and my acccount is not in your instance. But yeah, sure buddy. Believe what you want.

              Not sure why you think it’s relevant what instance your account is on. As long as instances federate we see each others posts.

                    So? You’re talking about the content in this specific community, not the instance. Just accept you misspoke and move on.

                    For someone who hates reddit, you sure act a lot like a redittor.
