    This post makes me feel like we’ve come full circle. All the way around and back to the 2010 9GAG era of memes. Don’t get me wrong, though. This makes me nostalgic. It was a simpler time…

      Lemmy is Reddit from 13 years ago. Here’s hoping it doesn’t go the same way Reddit did lol

        Seriously. 2010-ish reddit was a great fucking place. If I start fucking seeing novelty accounts, I’m fucking out of here, to some far-flung instance with a militant mod.

            There were accounts on reddit that just made a running joke, or something to that extent. For instance, once guy was shittywater colour, and he’d draw your comments if he liked them. While he was actually one I didn’t mind, he’s the first example that comes to mind. most of them were dogshit and didn’t add anything worth while.

      Memes are going through a cycle similar to art I feel. We started with just basic memes of text on random pictures. Then we got really good at those and we started making meta memes. Then we started contemporary memes: memes that challenge what it even means to be a meme (b and big chungus). And now we are tired of contemporary memes and moving back towards basic memes.
