I thought it's actually quite funny, besides doesn't really take more than a minute or two? You can still have a life and post shitty memes :D

What is even slightly funny about it? This is objectively not entertaining; it's basic, shallow pandering. It's meaningless, it gives no insight into the topic, and is easy karma farming material, as it polarizes the audience. It's exactly what made reddit suck, and now the same shitty material is being distilled to even worse trash memes but with less content over-all, leading to way higher visibility than in reddit. It's trash like this being posted in every fucking community and instance to the point that I can't block it. I genuinely hate opening lemmy now because I'm sick of the dumb-as-fuck communism memes, the low effort Linux propaganda, and the middle school level random memes. It's all this is anymore. Content is gone except in reposts to other medium. This will legitimately kill lemmy if there isn't a change made.

I mostly agree, though I didn't know it made people so mad or angry. The seagull looks funny and the text is stupid, have seen worse shitpost. I can see your point though that after the 10th time this content gets repetitive and boring but perhaps my feed looks different than yours. 🤷‍♀️

Btw not all leftists are automatically communists, though often times it holds true. But that's besides the point here I think ^^

But I see that you're very unhappy with this kind of posts and I didn't mean to invalidate that. What would you like to see more of though? :) I notice that lack of diverse, small communities too.

Dunno if it's gonna "kill Lemmy", probably will sort it out by itself, typical growing pain don't you think?

Just to follow up, OP has since deleted their account, apparently. Short lived karma farming accounts posting shallow content will legitimately kill lemmy. Feel free to quote me on that.

Do you mean @Custoslibera? How do you see his account is deleted?
