From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Seems weird to me that a platform starved for content and engagement would limit one of its largest forms of content to only be allowed on 1 day per week. 🤷♂️
Matter of opinion. I would rather have an empty feed than have to scroll past all the memes I have no interest in.
Agreed. It gets to the point where if anything, it's inhibitive to growth because people just zip right on past it before ultimately unsubscribing.
The usage of "content" and "engagement" in this post is genuinely depressing. People clearly want to have conversations and discussions, not feed an algorithm machine.
Memes tend to not be a great discussion starter. If there is an overwhelming amount of memes, interactions and discussions can easily be buried and socially discouraged as a result.
That’s fair. I spent probably 15 years on that other site lurking some really fantastic conversations in the comments, but it’s hard to find any posts here with more than a few comments. I’d much prefer active comment sections, but I’d settle for memes. I get where you’re coming from, hopefully this will help the conversations.
I blocked the user who flooded the community with shitposting, I prefer no content rather than shitty, low quality content
I left plenty of subreddits because that kind of content was rampant and it was hard to find actual quality content, because those posts were buried in shitty memes
