A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I know they post a lot of memes, and they might not be to everyone's tastes, but I feel like some people's reactions to PugJesus have been quite horrible really, and I expect better of this community.

And I am not meaning the other post requesting they post less, rather, I mean the comments I have seen left by various people saying some rather mean things about PugJesus.

PugJesus, thank you for providing us with memes, and content, and don't let the haters get to you.

I understand the sentiment. I remember Digg and early communities. The issue with small communities is 1 or 2 active posters can seem like they are the only posters. To me, that makes me nervous because I remember places that would prevent new or smaller members' threads from being seen. I don't think that's what's happening here but the pattern matching might be causing similar sentiments.

The solution: everyone post more memes.
