We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

Edit: added brackets to the title for clarity

    I beg to disagree. Lemmy is new, doesn’t have to cave to “the culture” that is now prevalent on reddit. Memes are created by users. They are OC. Screenshots are reposts by design. I was hoping Lemmy would be a better place than what reddit had become

      I already see people proudly making screenshots of screenshots, on purpose. The Streisand Effect took over already.
