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

This sub needs more mods, I don’t want to make this decision by myself. At the moment it seems like not everyone agrees with you.
Yeah, we should chat and try to find someone.
I don’t really care either way about the outcome, but thank you for your honesty and transparency here. I think it’s important that the community chooses their rule changes instead of a few mods. Maybe we could have a vote?
You mean a vote on who will be a new mod?
Interestingly enough this sublemmy never has any reports etc, y’all really are behaving very well.
I meant vote on the rule change.
Aaaaah, I see!
The screenshots have stopped anyways, so it’s no longer relevant. You agree?
It looks like we’ve moved on to old memes instead!
I love the energy that the meme subs on lemmy have developed.
Hi, @Number358@lemmy.world suggested I added brackets to the title. Are there guidelines about title edition?
No guidelines, just do it :)
How does one make more moderators?
I and the lemmy.ml server admins can appoint them. And @gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml, the other mod can also of course.
No need to hide in a cave, bro, but screenshots-of-screenshots, at least as far as I’ve seen lately, are already a part of “the culture.” There’s no winning this war; you can only hope to survive it.
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.
Objective achieved. These OPs are actually making OC, which is the idea of Lemmy. If I want reposts I go to Insta
I just downvote any uncropped screenshot and ignore the content at this point. Have people really gotten too stupid to crop?
We are in the social media age… yes, people really gotten too stupid for those kinds of things. Same with taking photos of screens instead of making a screenshot.
