“Aww look everyone! It’s a cat! Upvote it and ignore that this is c/memes. It doesn’t belong here at all but upvote me anyway because none of you give a damn! I could have posted this two dozen other places where it would actually be relevant but I know you morons will upvote anything posted here, so give me my fake points!”
But shouldn’t that be something to work on, then? There are plenty of great posts made. It’s just that garbage often gets the same amount of attention as good content. Current thread presented as proof.
That alarms me. The Fediverse is inherently self-selecting to nerds. You’d expect to see a higher standard for memecraft. It’s like going to an anime con, and the artist’s alley isn’t full of fanworks that violate every known principle of anatomy. Or to a Sportsball match where they don’t slam-dunk the touchdown bases.
Of course, we’ll never top that picture which I thought for years was a deep-fried image of Hank Hill with the caption “E”.

I think you have a point.
I thought it was just a fun photo of a cat. It’s not worth being so upset over. Let people have their fun.
To be fair, most of the memes posted on the fediverse are not very meme-y.

I’ve never been a meme maker myself, but for others, absolutely. The field is wide open for fresh memes.

Who hurt you?
Plus it’s a blind fucking cat named peepers… Like what the fuck?
The personification of “touch grass” right there.
