No need to hide in a cave, bro, but screenshots-of-screenshots, at least as far as I've seen lately, are already a part of "the culture." There's no winning this war; you can only hope to survive it.
I beg to disagree. Lemmy is new, doesn't have to cave to "the culture" that is now prevalent on reddit. Memes are created by users. They are OC. Screenshots are reposts by design. I was hoping Lemmy would be a better place than what reddit had become
We can hope. But in the end it’s the people who post that will decide. I think we should continue to allow the people and culture of the sub to define itself, instead of making mandates
If we do that, the culture will be defined by people who don't care about the culture.
A proper discussion followed by polls to establish rules would greatly increase the content quality now that lemmy is moving towards mainstream.
Are users not the ones who care about the culture?
I already see people proudly making screenshots of screenshots, on purpose. The Streisand Effect took over already.
Objective achieved. These OPs are actually making OC, which is the idea of Lemmy. If I want reposts I go to Insta
On Reddit, wasn't that kind of thing mostly just relegated to other subs? Similarly to other whatever-th degree meta jokes. Could be a thing here too.
