For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Side topic: I find it very interesting that mods will not act against toxic comments like these that obviously use ad hominem but will remove a lot of comments that are critical of ideas that the mods support simply for existing. Go figure.
The rules are pretty clear. It's okay to say someone is acting like an idiot, and it's not ok to call someone an idiot.. i dont necessarily agree, but them are the rules
When they say they "cringe" at what the person said, it means they feel second hand embarrassment. It's saying theyre embarassing. Is that some toxic ad hominem that should get you banned?
No, no, the redditor has got a point, I am not disputing the fact that I'm an idiot at all.
(But yes about that you said. Then again I don't know much about mod tools, like if there is word flagging, or even how many mods there are.)
And you're using "the redditor" not as a toxic ad hominem right?
I'm not a redditor anymore, i left the very day RIF stopped working.
It was your (I guess by your judgement toxic) nickname here ... @RedditWanderer@lemmy.world ... that I was referring to.
Which is totally not relevant to the conversation, which is what an ad hominem is, which is what the other person was saying. You only said "the redditor" as an insult.
Yes my name has reddit in it, but it also has wanderer lol, because i have been wandering since. I wouldn't expect you to get it though.
