I see this. There was another thread today where people were discussing if stuff like this counts as a “meme” or if it’s off topic for this page. I’ll be making a pinned post for community input tomorrow about a potential new rule. Stay tuned.
Could you NSFW tag this? Getting reports about rule 4 and 6 that are reasonable, but if it’s behind a tag, I think it’s fine.

201·1 month agoI see a bit of both sides being argued in the comments here. We don’t have a clear rule about this atm, so removals have been inconsistent and case-by-case, often based on reports.
Maybe I’ll start and pin a discussion thread about this during the week (when we’ll get the most eyes on it) and see what the wider community wants, and if desired, maybe we can come up with a rule wording that isn’t too restrictive, but removes stuff that genuinely feels “off topic” for a memes page.

Isn’t this P3?
If it elicits a groan, it’s peak dad humor.
Piefed has been going slow for me for the past week. Not sure why, so I just swapped back here for a few days and will try again soon.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why do some Men think all dish washing should be done by their GF or wife? Their help is really appreciated
421·2 months agoThis is probably one of the most loosely moderated communities on Lemmy, intentionally. I have no desire to be the morality or thought police, I just know that a lot of people don’t want to be surprised with porn or gore that they weren’t intending to see, so sometimes I ask people to use the NSFW tag.

5514·2 months agoGetting reports on this. Could you add a NSFW tag?
As a general rule of thumb, it would be best to tag anything that is (or appears to be) from porn, even if censored or off screen.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•about halfway through my cornposting dump. I hate doing this but also want to see it through to the end. mods please forgive me, if you even exist.

We all hate them. Please help.
Well that’s much better
I did some googling and found this. Not sure if it’s the most common name for it or not, because I’ve never heard it:

They’re angry and sent me a DM suggesting I was either paid $7000 and/or am a nazi if I saw anything to do with politics in this meme. You be the judge.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

0·7 months agoJust did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.
Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15








I’m seeing lots of reports on this for rule #2, and while I think this sort of commentary is obviously the basis of a lot of political bickering, I’m not sure if the framing in the meme itself is wholly political.
I might be way off base making a judgement call here, but I’m going to leave this one be.
