That was removed.

2020-11-14 00:38:58 UTC  

Where?

2020-11-14 00:38:58 UTC  

I posted that here...in meme-talk

2020-11-14 00:39:09 UTC  

It’s not a meme tho

2020-11-14 00:39:43 UTC  

It belongs in an election talk kinda channel

2020-11-14 00:40:21 UTC  

Ngl I found it quite funny but it didn’t belong in the general memes

2020-11-14 00:40:29 UTC

2020-11-14 00:40:39 UTC  

I agree with the interpretation of removing the meme from General

2020-11-14 00:40:46 UTC  

because after you mentioned it, it wasn't a meme

2020-11-14 00:40:59 UTC  

...but we're in meme-talk...and cracking a joke is well within the norm

2020-11-14 00:41:09 UTC  

and that's what the above "ackchyually" meme does

2020-11-14 00:41:18 UTC  

in meme-talk nonetheless

2020-11-14 00:41:35 UTC  

Could someone please explain to me what a meme is, because all I am coming up with is a picture with words that are potentially sarcastic.

2020-11-14 00:42:36 UTC  

an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.

2020-11-14 00:42:52 UTC  

Template photos used to add meaning to a set of words or captions are a common form of meme

2020-11-14 00:43:59 UTC  

The one shown above is showing a geeky character combined with my text, designed as a joking diss toward the mod....and is commonly used in this type of scenario as a template for this type of situation, hence a meme - as per the definition of "meme"

2020-11-14 00:45:15 UTC  

Huh. That makes a bit of sense. I've tried before to find a definition, but it seems like one of those things that everyone just knows and no one bothers to explain . . . which in and of itself kind of fits your definition.

2020-11-14 00:46:11 UTC  

And note...the meme I had removed from General was a correct decision after looking at it in retrospect, the meme I shared above was a separate meme & joke in response to that action.

2020-11-14 00:46:25 UTC  

Which (initially) was also removed until I re-shared it above a few moments ago

2020-11-14 00:46:39 UTC  

That is my complaint, not the initial meme removed from General.

2020-11-14 00:47:39 UTC  

I actually am lost on that whole conversation, so I will just take your word for it. Hope you and whomever else is involved can work that out in a satisfactory manner.

2020-11-14 00:48:15 UTC  

I gave my 2 cents, it's not really something I will bemoan at length...I clarified what I needed to. Obviously any final policy decisions do not lie with me.

2020-11-14 00:48:31 UTC  

I just figured since you were discussing why something was or wasn't a meme, you could probably explain it to me, so thank you.

2020-11-14 00:55:28 UTC  

Hmm

2020-11-14 01:00:51 UTC  

@SuperSand try not to talk in meme only channels

2020-11-14 01:01:18 UTC  

if only mods where like you when I joined

2020-11-14 01:01:24 UTC  

And accidents happen just be careful about the videos you post next time

2020-11-14 01:01:28 UTC  

<#719770967542333442> give them a good read over

2020-11-14 01:01:40 UTC  

where they would ask you to fix your mistake instead of warning you on the spot

2020-11-14 01:02:01 UTC  

I just warned them about something else

2020-11-14 01:02:07 UTC  

I mean a warn is not the end of the world

2020-11-14 01:02:07 UTC  

oh

2020-11-14 01:02:38 UTC  

They were saying sorry about the other rule that they broke

2020-11-14 01:02:55 UTC  

ah

2020-11-14 01:05:00 UTC  

im still wrapping my head around the fact that there's like 20 different meme chats for each individual thing, that's the snowflake world we live in

2020-11-14 01:05:29 UTC  

<:9360_pixel_yes:726877001138569286>

2020-11-14 01:05:57 UTC  

it's honestly kinda nice to sort through if you've been gone for a day or two

2020-11-14 01:06:48 UTC  

what's the point of humor if you know exactly what the joke is about
it's funny BECAUSE it catches you off-guard

2020-11-14 01:07:11 UTC  

also for me personally it's more annoying than convenient

2020-11-14 01:07:22 UTC  

having to check 20 different chats to be up to date
