!funny@sh.itjust.works

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

Politics are becoming more and more of the center of a lot of issues, of course it’s going to be everywhere. Just like if a comet is about to hit earth and you complain about all communities talking about it, even if unrelated.

Your stance is looking a lot like enlightened centrism at this point, and that’s definitely not a good thing.

  I’m well aware politics are more prevalent than ever, but does that mean they have to be everywhere?
  
  If a comet was about to hit earth, would you look at it non-stop or would you sleep from time to time to rest from the issue at hand?
  
  And I’m not even touching about the fact that it’s US politics that are getting posted everywhere. A large size of the Lemmy population are not US citizens, getting flooded with politics from another country isn’t really something people are enthusiastic about.

“”““Memes””“”" that are actually just barely disguised political opinions.

I need some humor in my life that doesn’t blend with political current events.

Thank you. 🙏
