Post memes here.
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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), [email protected] can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. [email protected]

I keep things to their thread/situation. There are a few users on this site who I absolutely fucking hate and considering how frequent of a poster I am, those users tend to pop up repeatedly. I don't want this place to become reddit where people just start dragging drama from one situation to another so I try not to do that myself.
Oh god, don't start with this bullshit. That whole power user nonsense was so damn annoying on reddit. This is an anonymous internet forum. Please don't use phrases that make it sound like you're famous.
That was not my intended meaning of it. I meant that I simply post an enormous amount and those people pop up in the comments. I'm not trying to big up my ego, especially when I absolutely hate myself.
That being said, if you want to tone back the reddit energy then I might recommend starting with yourself. If you have an issue with something I say, fine. Talk to me about it. I have no issue having a discussion provided it comes from a place of decency and kindness. This "Oh god, what bullshit" energy is why I left reddit. I don't need to deal with here too. You're a person and i'm a person. How about we both treat each other like one and talk about stuff instead of this angry energy.
Edited the comment for clarity and to remove the 'offending' phrase.
That's fair. I probably was more combative than necessary so apologies for that. Still, I think the overall point is valid even if it was expressed poorly. The concept of celebrity in general is pretty obnoxious but applying it to an anonymous person, especially one primarily posting memes, is quite nonsensical. You may not have intended to play into that but many people do.
I appreciate it.
I've got no interest in trying to pretend that i'm celebrity on here. I post an enormous amount and because of that my name is recognized by a huge amount of people on here. That's as far as I go. I'm not "famous" or a "celebrity" for posting here (I've been called both on numerous occasions from casual users to admins and the phrase doesn't sit right with me either. I just post a lot. There's nothing 'famous' about it and I'm not deserving of the "Oh wow Stamets is posting here!" which mods of multiple communities have done as well. I'm just trying to help Lemmy out and add more content and get more stuff going.
Yeah i hear yah, i have a bunch of them blocked, specially that tankie astronaut asshole who doesnt shut up about their bullshit, they fucking threathed me once because i laughed at them once, subtly but they sure did.
On my main Startrek.Website Stamets account they're all blocked but this is my 'mod' account so i've got them all unblocked to be able to act on any reports or whatever. I'm just tired of all the constant negativity from certain people. Everytime I see them, everytime, they're just complaining. Saying something sucks or how something is stupid or the post doesn't make sense or how someone is an idiot. I just don't wanna engage with that behavior anymore. I left reddit for a reason. I don't need the prick following me around on all my posts (which, due to my constant posting, they often do) and being themselves.
